RSD wheels on Cross Bones 21"

It feels like it took forever but they finally got here. Had just enough time to install them before I rode in to work. I'll be getting the lowering rockers in the near future. The ride hasn't changed but just off the stand the bike sits higher and feels heavier.

The specs on the wheels. RSD Judge with the Black Ops finish. Metzler 880 marathon. 200/50 18 on the rear, and 120/70 21 on the front.

I removed the front fender day before yesterday in preparation for the taller wheel.

AFTER

I had to cut the chrome strut and then I painted it black. Here's a close up:

Thanks Milty. As you can see, I ended up cutting the chrome strut. Didn't want to but I can replace it if needed. When I pulled off the front fender there almost no grime under it telling me it didn't catch much anyway.

What all did you do when you installed the lowering rockers? That's my next step.
