Looks great!

I agree with Chaz... the 100th year paint has always been my favorite and looks killer surrounded with lots of chrome!

Is your bike lowered?

Thanks all, for some reason it always feel better to do it yourself.

Yes, 1" lowered progressive suspension front and rear. It used to be lower but it was to much (harsher ride). If you want to slam much more than the 1" you need air suspension IMHO.

Ugh, the front tire leaks like crazy from the stem. I need to pull it back off and put a tube in it. So much for tubeless tires.

That sucks, I'm afraid of that same thing happening on mine. I might go with tubes the first time around.

I ordered a tube because I think it will be worth it. The issue was the valve stem was installed incorrectly and after fixing that I have no issues holding air.

Those wheels look good on your ride. I agree with the others that the paint scheme on your Anniversary edition is a great color combo. I just got new wheels for my Deluxe. I was planning on getting the DNA's, but I wanted to take it a step further and get white spokes to match the two-tone of my bike. Therefore, Ride Wright Fat Daddys were the route I had to take.
