Cool

Finishing a few pending tasks from the tire replacement...

Installed the belt guard and side swingarm bag...



Quick ride around the block and no rubbing anywhere!! And like I said, still fills the fender nicely.






Also had this for several years... finally installed... USB charging port






All fused...



No windshield nor metal toolbox until the brackets come from powder coating...







Removed the rack... and out for a ride before the weather gets nasty...

Nice Work! I just love the look of the FLSS in the Olive Gold Denim. IMO, its the best looking Harley. Mine is the same color too.

That paint job was the main reason I bought a Harley. That and the old school bobber look.

Agree... and to think that my favorite color is blue... and this green paint scheme and graphics got me to buy this bike as well...

So what is the full dimensions of the new tire. Dunlop is a bit of a pain with their system. I can never figure out the sizing. The stock tire is 140mm wide.

The previous tire was a Shinko SR777 Black wall - Size: 170/70-16 75H - this measures 6.61"

I took it down to a Shinko SR777 Black wall - Size: 150/80-16 77H - this one measures 5.91"

Stock tire is a MU85B1677H - which is something like a 140 and measures 5.59".

Never heard of Shinko before. Would love to know what MU85B1677H actually represents.

150 (in any of the brands) is what most folks here have gone with on the stock rim without issues. So I knew that was a safe bet... only concern was installing it on a 5" rim rather than the 3.5-4" that it calls for...
