the 130 definitely fatter than the fxdwg's 120:
wonder how long that axle nut cover has been missing?

That's a lot of tire on the back. Is it taller than the old one? Appears to be. Interested in hearing your thoughts on them after some miles.
I'm going to be buying tires mid-way through the season, front for sure and soon. Probably go with the same brand as you did. Seems to be a popular choice.

can't really tell on the rear. they are the same 150/70-18. the gt502 have cool designs on the sidewall, breaks up the space.
took it out and did ~80 mile of white knuckling, gt502 are way more sticky and soft. the night dragons are good. not as sticky but, they will last longer, that's the problem with the gt502s they wear out quickly and are tempermental. there were about 5k miles on the set i just pulled. rear was squaring off, front was okay

Really though, thanks for the pics, looks good....
T. (black is the new chrome)
better shot...
compare sidewalls. night dragon front is more aggressive deeper sidewall more visible tread.
you know, chrome make it qualify as a new special edition..
cvaria, I think I want some front t/s’s like the set you have. What brand/model are those? Could you post a close up pic of the mount setup?
t/s = turn signals? mounts/leds?
housings:
xr1200 black signals
leds:
they are the standard style custom dynamics Moon Shinez (no longer made and hard to find). pretty sure they are illegal since they are all white all the time, even when blinking but, nobody cares. only time it mattered was during an inspection and i just put in stock amber bulbs to pass then took them back out and threw them off an overpass. (joking)
Dynamic ringz or knock-offs like the moons signals and others are what most folks use
mounts:
the turn signal housings are suspended from older-style/big twin turn signal mounts because i'm running a touring bike master cylinder and clutch perch not stock controls.

edit......... wait wait... i think i see what you are after. you are looking for the stock standoffs since yours have been relocated.... at least thats what my brain is telling me based on you question and the pictures you posted here:
those studs go up into the bottom of you stock master cylinder and clutch perch. (look at the bottom of your controls and and you will see the holes) they are held in and adjusted with:
