I got me new front ride wright fat 50 spoke wheel & tire installed. Also swapped out the stock head light & risers. Had some powder coating done as well. Rear wheel & tire should be here tomorrow. Looking for some new mirrors too. I took a few quick pics with my cell phone & will get some better one's as soon as I get the rear wheel installed. The first pic is how I brought it home. Big Thanks to all you guys for all the help/advice & Dr. V-Twin for all the parts!!!

Yeah that's the wheel that was on my counter. I may end up getting a new fender soon if I can find one that I like. I can't wait till I get the rear wheel, tire & pulley mounted. Shotgun shock & new pipes are on my list too.
