just had the 1.5'' lowering kit fitted http://www.softailloweringkit.com/index.html, red pinstriped wheels and red grips.. pics are not to good will get some up later..preload not changed as yet, and the ride was just as good as stock very slight difference. bike looks great. very happy. these were taken on an incline so it looks lower in person than pics show.

The pinstripes are a really nice touch. I was thinking about getting mine striped, but the striper I talked with so far told me it's really difficult to get perfect. Are yours painted or adhesive?

Thanksmate..the stripes are 3mm adhesive from evilbay, pretty hard to get them even on the smooth rim wheels, but a cheap option for a change, not perfect/ will do until i decide if want to go with different wheels...

I seen a guy pinstripe a rim in about 30 seconds by lifting the bike then spinning the rim and slowly lowering the brush to the spinning wheel it made a perfect even thicknesss stripe. Looked way too easy.

There is a "Wheel pinstriping tool" called a Beugler tool. Works on all types of curved surfaces...
