More firm, but I need to lower the air pressure a bit and play with that. Handling is superb from what little I have gotten to ride so far..

Looks great, and obviously its the best color. Did you have the "cowbells" powder coated, and by who?

What size is the front wheel?

I just put a 17" front wheel on mine it is a better ride than the low profile tire with 19" wheel

I bought my front fender form The Factory Match, their paint work is incredible. I'm thinking I may get the factory cow bells painted to match, or replace with chrome ones, I also plan on going with chrome lowers.

It's a 18" wheel. Same size as the back. You can't go wrong with The Factory match..great work for sure.
