Looks really sharp man. Gotta change your sig pic now- still has that old rim.
I hate to have one of the photoshop wizards do another chop before I finish the wheels. JBaker did this chop on his own and sent it to me after I got the new paint.......cause he liked the paint.No rush now; I figure toget the front wheel, pulley and rotors and progressive 422's, I only need$2k or so........on top of the several $K I've spent the last few months. Damn I need some recovery time! Hopefullythis stage will be done (and paid for) by spring.

Man that's lookin' really good.
I'll bet you can't wait for that front wheel.

...and I'm always about done with mine too. LOL
You're right......I'm sure I'll be fudging here and there to free up some funds for the front. I've noticed your bike has also undergone some radical changes over the last few months too. I bet we're neck and neck on the race to the poorhouse!
Your fatty is looking really good.......really sharp!

Nice looking bike. I really like your tins. I sure know the feeling of continually putting the bling on. I started with a softail standard and just kept going and going. I call it the bling sickness (in a good way of course).

You know it......maybe in a couple of weeks, I hate to put stuff on my credit card....I'd much rather pay cash. The front will be much easier too......the rear was a bitch to do by myself. Holding the spacers in place while trying to insert the axle with anti-sieze lubricant all over it...more on myself than on the axle.

Nice looking rim there, I went with the Torque style. Got the rear rim and pully installed yesterday and now I see that I need the matching rotor. I ordered that Friday, hope to see it soon.Will post pictures when rotor is installed.Like you, now I need to do the front, but I'd also like to look into a custom paint job. I noticed the NC plate, and the nice paint job. What part of state are you from, if you don't mind me asking, and who done your tins?
