Looks great on your Switchback.
No mods at all. You'll need a front rotor, cost me $25 on eBay

Front tire was $150 from local shop

Rear tire was pricey at $350 from diamondback tires, no one makes a 17" www. Mine is an Avon. To me it was worth it, rides great and definitely set my bike apart from the rest...

No one said custom was cheap

Oh yeah, I got my wheels for parts at a local swap meet...

I have a set coming for my 2010 Wideglide but it's not ABS...Will I need new spacers and bearings or just use my old spacers???

Cheers...Sparra
