200/55/18 front wheel dry build photos - your feedback?
some more shots including some side views
as requested some side views of the bike, couple of weeks and should be back out on the road, thinking of changing the front tire for one that has a better profile.
Need to look at a new set of pipes 2.5 or 3" straight through (thinking of having them custom made), really would like an open primary drive if anyone can recommend a decent make and a set of chubby black beach cruisers bars on a set of 1" risers
has anyone slowed the engine tickover, what are the risks, how easy is it to do, I am running a power commander
does the money spending ever stop?

Awesome.
How about a pic showing the front head on? It looks like you still have the stock headlight--wondering if that falls in line with the huge front tire? How about a Headwinds stubby-type 7" job?
Not criticising by any means--fantastic bike.

i bought a Fatboy light and tried it, but the smaller unit looked so much better - thinking a finding a smaller halogen style light - i really like the headlights used on Exile bikes think there 4.5"
Really makes the front end look huge with the smaller light unit (not that it needs a headlight to make it look huge)
here is a front on pic
still need to tidy up the cables, please dont nag will get done soon

Bike looks really good.
I can think of two ways the spending stops: 1) sell the bike, 2) die. Will go out on a limb here and say neither of those are an option for you. hahahah

The seat looks big in the pics, but on the bike it fits sweet not much wider then the top of the shocks
overall i am really happy with the seat, just needs to wear it a bit
looking for a set of black gas caps (but not gloss) a dakota digital speedo, kurakyn Velociraptor (but cant find any decent reviews - lot of people seem to think it looks to large) - good news lots of bits for sale on ebay to fund the next mods

Roland Sands makes some sweet gas Caps, and any lids they make they have matching air filter setups as well.

Sweet A$$ ride
Mark your bike is freakin sick bro. I'jm currently in the process of doing up my 08 SB and was looking at the Fatbob triples until I found out I can't get as big a tire as I want. Please let us know if the company that fabbed up your triples is willing to do a setup for sale. What was there name again? Like I said, beautiful scoot man. Late, Jeremy
