Finally pulled the trigger
I called the Doctor and order the Shotgun Shock and Progressive Monotubes today. I could no longer fight the urge to get them. I figured since I currently have the tank pulled for a bar swap, I might as well do the front forks. And if I'm going to do the front, I might as well do the rear. I held off on the Ride Wright's for now as I am still trying to feel the whole tire situation out. Tomorrow I am going to order mirrors and foot controls and hopefull decide on some 1" risers. I'm looking for something in the Carlini High Roller mold. Once I get that nailed down I can order my cables. Our first bike night of the year is May 5th, so I am hoping to have it road ready by then. Pictures and thoughts to follow.

It's funny how fast **** happens. Cables, bars, risers, air ride, seat, heads, jugs, cams, air cleaner, pipes, thundermax, ride wrights, tires, powdercoat etc.etc..
It's nice to see someone else spend money lol. I have a spending problem too.

I went with the new Carlini Evil Knuckles. I've already got them wired and and ready to go back on the bike. I was going to buy all this stuff over the winter, but with my wrist in a cast and unsure if I'd be able to ride, I was reluctant to spend. Now I'm in prime mode. I imagine I will pick up the wheels before June gets here. I will go with the DB tires if the Vee's aren't readily available.
On the plus side, I think I decided on the Joker Machine Billet Risers. Drew, you guys able to get those for me?
