Personally I think some of those King Spoke Ultima wheels would look great on that bike. JMO

Just looked them up. That is the look I had in mind. They look to be A LOT more affordable than I would expect. May have to do some research on them. Thanks!

Went to go for a ride on Monday. I turned the gas on and had a steady stream of gas flowing out of the overflow and vent hole. From a little research on the forum I am pretty sure the needle/seat is not sealing and I just need to rebuild the carb. Gives me a good excuse to play around with the jetting as I have thought it was always a little off. It has always had a slight hesitation, but pulls really nice.

Carb is an S&S Super E

You cloud plastidip those lowers after a ride in about an hour and they'd be good to go the next day. Blue painters tape and newspaper. Would take no time at all. Think it will look really good with those black bars

Float is sticking, keeping the needle from closing off the fuel.

Got the carb all cleaned up and no more leaking gas. Was a bit of sediment on the bottom of the float bowl.
