SDMF... Love the look of your bike!! I want to go with the wheels and tires you used, for my 05 Deluxe. Can you give me a link to where you bought them and more info on them. I did some searches off info you posted and can't come up with much. Also info on your dash would be great!
Thanks...Keep up the good work! Looks great!!

Hi JetTech,
Thanks for the compliment.
Not sure the wheels would be practical, theyre from a company here in Australia and postage would be expensive.
VPW in Australia supplied them.
They are vey similar to DNA wheels.
Front rim is 21 x 3.5 and the rear 16 x 3.5
The tyres i used are both Metzelers ME880's. The front tyre was a special order through Diamondback tires to have the whitewall added to a 120/70-21 size. You could get a Veerubber in that size with whitewall, but i heard they arent very good.
The dash is part # HD 71208-07 a straight swap.
Hope the info helps.
Goodluck

That's where I was thrown off...I thought they looked like DNA wheels, but I think your wheels look better for some reason. I looked them up, "Max Spoke Front 21X3.5 Single .750” Chrome" or "Max Spoke Front 21X3.5 Dual .750” Chrome". The 16x3.5 show single, dual, and plain "Max Spoke Rear 16X3.5 .750” Chrome" I'm lost, which ones? Shipping would be a major factor, but exchange rate isn't too bad. Thanks for the info and dash p/n.

The lower chrome forks are going to look sweet on your bike!! My forks are all chromed and it ads so much!

The single or dual relates to your brakes.
Mine is a single.....(single front brake rotor)
All the rears are single.
Mine are parts # ATT-37-502 front and ATT-37-507 rear
