Default New pipes or wheels?
Thought I was done with the bike, I guess it never ends.

So I'm looking at getting either some Samson 30" slash cut duals, or should I go with some new wheels? I like having the 18" up front and thinking doing a Sinnister billet daddy, or fat spoke. Maybe even a 21

Dr. Drew either way I'll be hitting you up

Pipes, wheels. Carb. Cams. Efu. Shotgun. Progressives up front. A/C. Tires. Brakes. Tins. Mirrors, shift levers, brake pedal, misc chrome or murder it out. A stick n lick for the occasional hottie on the back. Coors lt and Jack Daniels. Maybe not in that order but pretty damn close

Well if you do new pipes, I'll buy your short shots. Itll offset the cost a little. Then you can do both. I'm right up in mass too.

Wheels then see which direction you want to go with pipes after you see how the new wheels change the look of the bike.
