Default Installing my PM wheels

Or wheel anyway, got my front wheel in so I installed it and get the fender mounted. Still waiting on the rear wheel and its off to paint.

That looks real good! Are you widening up the rear end? Only thing I dont like on the blackline is the skinny rear tire...

That's a nice slick look on your BL. Those billet front rims become focal points. Is it a 21x3.5 by any chance? I like the fender, it would help keep "splashback" on the front of the engine in rain, which I despise with the stock fender.

Blk and Chrome - what front fender is yours? Looks like a stock width wrap-around fender, that is what I've been thinking of....

Got thinking, where you got to paint anyway, what about painting your fenders the same orange as your tank? It would make it more unique than the run-of-the mill production line. Just a thought...

I am widening the rear to a 260, and its a 21-3.5 with a 120-70 tire. I like the idea of painting the fenders orange but im a gloss black kind of guy so its probably gonna end up being black again.
