Default Got the new Wheels on! **Updated**

Well, this morning me and my pops tackled putting the new wheels/tires on my bike. They are chrome Hogpro Lemans 18x5.5 in the rear with a 200/50 and a 19x3.5 in the front with a 120/70. Tires are metzler Me880's and they ride sweet so far. I got them with a matching chrome pulley and brake rotors. The install went pretty smooth since everything was all mounted up already. Took maybe 45 min tops. The back was a little harder since i have it slammed, but doable. Anyways, the only pic i have is in my signature right now and they really dont do it justice. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow, so im gonna take it some where nice and snap some pics and post up sometime this weekend. Ill just update this thread. Now i need to figure out if im gonna leave the stock bars or swap them for something different. The bikes an 08 fatty BTW.

Those wheels look great. If you change the bars, consider some kind of pull back drag bars- they may look awesome with your set up.
