Looks sharp. Definitely an upgrade from day one. You need to mod the front fender at all?

No mods to the fender as of yet. It is definitely a tight fit! I would have to say less than a 1/4". I may loosen the fender a bit to see if I can rock it back a little. Just waiting for the wife to cool off a little before I buy the matching rear wheel

Go 18" and get some fat spokes to match.

Looks good, the new pipes look better too (imo)

Ah, she'll never notice...women never do, so just buy it. My wife never notices the changes I make to my bike and if she does, she asks something like, "when did you buy/do that?"
My answer: "oh, awhile back..." Works every time...never goes farther than that.

Looks good, I just purchased a 21" front wheel from a 2012 Blackline. Can't wait to get it installed….

It is not the changes in the scoot that she notices, it the the dwindling bank account.
