Default holiday parts installed

Thanks to my wife for some fine Xmas gifts:
billet shift and brake levers
inner primary cover
cylinder base cover
swingarm pivot covers
diamondback clutch cable

I treated myself to a rare Ebay find of chrome forward control brackets for about 1/3 of their retail cost

UPShas possession of mynew rear wheel; I have to do them one at a time due to the expense ofwheels, but I chose to go with PM Gatlins going to a 18x 5.5 on the rear.

It's a Corbin Gunfighter, and it is very comfortable on long rides. The back rest especially, takes a lot off of your arms and hands; very easy to just relax and cruise. I've done 360 miles only stopping for fuel with no discomfort at all.150 miles on the stock seat would have me hurting for 2 days........

Looking good, my wife got me the H/D billet rocker box covers, of corse I just had to add the billet pushrod tubes and tappet covers. Like you also, UPS has my Torque rear rim. How do you like that upside-downy front end? I've thought about one but not to sure if it can be lowered. Guess that might be a thought for a post.
