Default Phase 1 complete.

Thought I would show off my ride to see what you guys think. I just spent 16 hours installing my mini apes, the wiring was a pita. Now i know why HD charges so much money to install new bars. I want new wheels and open primary someday, but for now the OL cut me off. LOL

I'm not sure what wheels yet. I like fat spokes, but might go with something different. Maybe one of Roland Sands contrast cut. I want to run 18's front and rear, so I can try and run a 160 up front.

Bike looks great! I too am seeking new wheels. I'm really thinking 80 spoke for no other reason than fat spokes are just getting too common. For good cause mind you, they look great. I just like to be different. And with the five bazillion Fat Boys on the road, thats a tough thing to do.

Thanks, Yeah their are a lot of fat spokes out their, but thats why I want to run the fatest tire that I can fit between the forks. The wheels I decide on are going to come down to where I can get a custom wide front wheel made. Anybody know of a company? Only one I've found so far is Excile Cylces.
