The first set of rims that Hogpro posted would be killer on your bike.

Did I say how those bars just set your bike off!
Out of those 2 rims a would definitely chose the first one. Still have lots of searching to do before I pick some new shoes.

Been toying with the idea of 160 WW front and rear. Still playing with photoshop to see what the different wheel options look like. I think the FX does have more space, maybe it's because the beer cans on the FL take up so much room.
Good to know that all the wiring and cables wouldn't fit. I guess I won't be installing internal cables anytime soon. LOL

Dude I had no idea what your talking about until I went back to the Polish guys thread and saw your post. LOL

Thanks, and start chopping that pig up! LOL I bet your OL would love watching you cut up your fender with a sawzall.

It was nice to see Ur remark about the labor. Some in here just don't understand how much work it is to do some jobs. AND do it right.

I try to do as much as possible to her but somethings I just won't mess with..

Being old and with my messed up back I just can't get up and down anymore like I did when I was in my 40's and 50's. And if i do I'll be down for 2-3 days afterwards and taking pain pills which I hate to do. Clean her and change the oils is bout it anymore and I do that on the lift.
.

Thanks!!! It wasn't that hard to do, just time consuming. I made sure to take my time to make it perfect. The wiring now looks better than factory.

The lack of fender makes absolutely no difference in handling as far as I can tell, and it certainly isn't the cause of wobble at any speeds. Ive had mine 95+ with no issues at all. Whoever told you that doesn't know what they are talking about and should not be used for advice for anything motorcycle related from this point forth.

It does, however, severely affect the amount of water that hits you in the face when riding in the rain or on wet roads.

No worries! Thanks for all the compliments! I'll make sure not to show this to my OL, she might not want me spending any more money. LOL
