I like those wheels. They are tough looking.

Good shots, and again I think this could turn out to look awesome.. Here's my humble 2 cents:
- I'd put a 150 rear tire just to fill the stock fender better, and yes 150 still a slim.
- I don't think those pipes suit the style, I'd go for something longer
- one of the things I never liked on my slim were the rear turn signals, they messed up the rear aspect of the bike, I'm having mine relocated.

Just my thoughts, but what do I know!

I got the pipes because they were cheap. I bought the cheapo V&H chrome and had the shields powder coated. This bike is still a work in progress. I've only had it for a 3 month. I will eventually remove the stock tail lamps and add a hidden LED system. As far as the tire. It is a 150, but seemed to be the same size as my 140. I got in a rush to get the new rims mounted, and that was the only one they had in stock.

Love the look! How long did it take to get your wheels? I have a set of DNA 60 spokes on order. They told me 3 weeks, but I heard some people say that it took over 5 weeks.
