Thanks for the help...looking forward to bringing some so.cal. style to new england.
Nice choice bro.
1. Nice color sled
2. Stay FAR away from Vee. I have one, CRAP. Get ahold of Tab at Diomond Back Tire and get a 120/70-21 WW metzler. Check out Country Deluxe thread on here about that tire. Its bad ***. Im getting one next week.
3. Wait for the Cholos to come out. I have VH longshots on my sled and love em.
4. Shotgun shock. Best piece of the puzzle. Talk to Drew at Dr Vtwin. Hell hook you up. Good dude.
5. 16" wildone Chubbys. IMO
6. ?
7. Danny Gray Buttcrack. Very lo pro and real leather.
