HD LED lights would look pretty good on it, I think - put them on my silver '11 FLSTC and they are killer.

According to my old Metzler catalog, the front is a maximum 136mm wide and the rear is a maximum 143mm wide.
Good to hear!!! I like the bike and think there's a ton of potential in it. Check out Cycle Source and The Horse...those rags show a lot of bikes with similar styling. The bike is meant to be a solo ride.....I think a smaller sized sprung seat would look killer on it.

Dunlop 16-inch (MT90B16) front and rear (MU85B16) tyres, despite the rear being smaller than the rear, soon fix that, placed my order

softail deluxe is front MT90-16, rear MU85-B16,

Spent ages in the show room, looking at the set up, its pretty much a blacked out slimline deluxe,
