One More Fat Tired Road Glide!
Finally got my fat tire kit installed! Been waiting on Lyndall rotors on back order. As soon as I got the front end apart I get a call from ***** Shiny that my rotors are in! Imagine that. Lol. Here's a few pics.
Here is the rotors and wheel spacers from ***** Shiny! The front wheel is coming off one more time!

I lowered the bike 2" front and rear. I used the Progressive 2" kit up front and Burly Slammers out back. The ride is stiffer from the suspension change, however, it tracks like it's on rails. Counter steering takes less input because there is 3" more tire to push into overall. Low speed handling is about the same. Best mod I've done to my bike so far. I may change the suspension down the road but I am happy for the moment.

The upper and lower sliders were changed also. I bought the Native kit. The lowers and uppers are machined to allow clearance for the wider wheel and tire.

it is 18x5.5". Look up Metalartopia.com They make a Talon wheel. I chose theirs over the SMT because their hub is solid and not star shaped. I just feel it gives the wheel a cleaner look.
