Default Rocker C total redo

Well as promised, here is a couple of pictures of my rocker under construction. I know that some of the pics are blurry...sorry! I am hoping the change will be radically good. Here you see the forks have been changed, new 21 inch front wheel and tire plus new bars. Matching rear wheel, air ride, chrome inner primary, new lights, seat, forward controls and finishing parts will be installed as well. Then off to the paint shop. I can't wait to get it done. Let me know what you think! I am going to keep the blue, but new flames or something else you recommend will be applied. Thanks

Questions:
[ol][*]How did you handle front fender mounting with the 21" tire.[*]Which rim did you use for the front?[*]Did you consider taller fork tubes?[*]How easy was it to install the Aircleaner?[*]You need a PA-C in your Ortho Practice?[/ol]
I'm getting mine next month and considered doing the following:[*]21" front wheel (Slasher) with matching rotor.[*]Raising the front Fender 1"[*]18" Slasher rear wheel with matching pulley[*]Extending the fork tubes 2-4"[*]Raising the tank 2" front and 3/4" rear[*]V&H 2 into 2 pipes[*]Moving turn signals to fork tubes[*]Similar Air Cleaner[*]Clean up the rear fender
[ul][/ul]
Always knew I should have gone into Ortho......
