Thank you. Had a couple issues with the install, but nothing major. We had to shim the caliper on the front and we took off the lower belt guard. The hub is also shallower so finding pulley bolts was a little tricky. They are in about 6 or 7 threads so I think they will be ok. I would suggest to do something other than a vee for a tire. When I wear this one out I will be calling TAB at db tires.

All in all, I am pretty happy with the outcome. Still a little nauseous about the beating my checking account has taken but it costs money to have fun!

Those wheels really make the bars work...looks really good.

The chrome lowers make the wheel pop, good call, did you do the 2in drop?
