Your sled looks good. There are somethings I would change but thats just me. We all have different tastes and styles. I like the Nastalgic look my self. Build it the way you like it and ride it. Good luck on your decicion.

Here is a thought on the WW .Since you have new tires and wheels You can just send Tab (DB Tires) Your current tires and have him add the WW to them. That should run less than 2 Bills. Last time I checked I thought Tab said 75.00 per tire to add WW. Little extra labor for you and down time with the bike. But may be an option.

The new bars ,A/C and WW would pull it all together with out the expense of new paint IMHO.
Do you got any contact info for Tab? That's not a bad idea. I could throw the stock wheels/tires on while their getting done.

Hey Ghost, check out the Thread "WHITE WALL 120/70/21 METZ, Avon, etc." That will give you all the contact info that you will need to get ahold of Tab. He knows alot of us on the forum and he will treat you great. Ask him as many questions as you want and he will answer everyone of them.

JMHO, I wouldnt go with the Flyin apes, Id do the Gangster apes, they flow more with the front end, but its your Money brother.

Hope the info helps, give Tab a call, you wont regret it.
