Scooter looks good!
If the ND is mounted to the MoCo 4.5" rear hoop, it will look smaller than the HD SE180 tire due to bead design. The ND bead is pulling your side walls/thread in on the 4.5" hoop. A 5" hoop is typically the minimum recommended hoop size for a 180.
Yet, I have noticed other posts here and on other forums that the ND is anywhere from 2 - 6mm shy of 180 anyway. Not sure why the wide disparity. I guess some folks are measuring from different reference points.

The bike at idle is pretty tame but once given any throttle it sounds like no other to me..you wouldn't be disappointed. However the pipe doesn't have heat shield and wrap doesn't do enough so be prepared for a warm leg. Power and sound though you can't go wrong.
