You need some Ride Wright fat 50's. Black hub and rim with chrome nipples and black spokes. I also agree on some evil apes in black with high roller risers. Some sort of contrast cut air cleaner (whatever brand you like) LA Choppers makes some nice ones as well that are a bit less expensive. I would get some black fork boots for sure as well. You also ahve to figure something out for teh back of that rear fender. I cannot tell if you have a side mount plate or what with the pics you psoted.

It may be lowered already, but you need to hook up your suspension with a Shotgun Shock. It's stance in these pics would be altered so much you would not think it is even the same bike. Get the Harley lo profile dash and powder coat it black. Maybe some slimmer signals on the front as well. I would finish it off with some red and white pinstriping. Not a lot, just a few simple designs. One on each side of the tank and one on the rear fender and possibly a little bit on the front fender.

I need more pics to give more suggestions. Actually, maybe a wrap around fender for the front wheel.

Just ordered the pro one triple trees with the integrated signals. Anyone know of a good place to get a rear spoked 17x6 or 6.25 rim?

Thanks!
That's what I'm thinking as well on the rims. I just need to find a rear spoked rim. any idea where I can get one and not break the bank? Looking for a 17x6.
I already have the tri bar light it's just not installed in these pics. Waiting for my alloy art strut signals to dry then I'll put it all back together.

Deciding on what air cleaner I want to go with now.

there are a ton of spoke wheel manufactures out there. Do a small search, ride wright, DNA, KC international, etc etc no particular attention to any brand I just mentioned. id just get a DNA rear wheel and use a tube. who cares you know.

im looking for a new cleaner as well. I found this one today...not sure if I want to frop the dough on it though,

I dig the one from Frantic if it was painted or powder coated. The other one I dunno. for that price I would just drop another $20-50 and go with the RSD contrast cut. That's just me.

As for the rear rim, yeah you're right there are a ton out there, just not sure I wanna spend that kinda scratch on a rear rim. Wish I could find a stock 17x6 or 6.25 that I could have powder coated.
