Man! That looks good! What model of Southern wheels are those? And it looks like you have the wider front wheel with the stock fender. Will a 120/21 fit with the stock wideglide fender, or do I need to do something different. I was just looking at the Southern website. I like the Octane wheel, but I can't decide. I wish I could see pics of them on a Dyna.

currently in the process of doing this now, and its a bit painful in hind sight there would be easyier ways to do it,
I got these http://www.ebay.com/itm/140772254114...S:1123&vxp=mtr
Milled equal ammounts off both the spacers and have it set up so the brake disc is dead center in stock brakes only thing is my wheel is now off from the center of the axles by about 4mm I am going to mill off the brake housing so I can move it all over to the right (looking at it from the front) then adjust my spacers to match gaps.
A bit of stuffing around but even riding it with it off center by the 4mm its 100% better than a stock rim. See my post in this section if you want more info on the alignment issue.

I'm not sure I want an 18 on the back, but that seller doesn't carry 17x5.5. If I do go with an 18, I may want to go with a 23 up front. ?? Is anyone sporting that config on a wide glide? I'd love to see some pics.
Thanks.
I'm looking at buying those same wheels and putting a 200 on the back. Can you post some pics?

I believe a lot of people do put the 200 on the 5.5 but its not listed on tire charts as aceptable, if you do get these could you drop me a PM once you have them fitted be interested to see if you have the issue I had,
