Looks like old times up in this hizzle!!! Wow, new project rocker, oh the good ole days! Welcome and post up pics of your progress as you go along.... Keep one thing in mind just about anything from any bike is interchangeable to a certain degree, so when they say it wont fit do your own research!

Ill see if I can find the receipt when I get off work, I know I went with traditional lip since the rear isn't an option for smooth or at least wasn't back in march/april. I know the price was around 4k counting tires installed/balanced with the dyna beads

Also thanks for the compliments but if it wasn't for all of your inspiration I'd still prolly be basically stock! So props to you all!

Ok found my receipt so here goes, Ride Wright fat 50's 23 x 3.5 up front 18 x 8.5 declined smooth lip on both wheels so they would match making my order "conventional" I guess? I ordered direct from Ride Wright got the number from their website. Gave them the info off of my bike, told them about my triple trees being switched to the HHI's and they built the front wheel for the trees. By doing that I switched to wide glide chrome wheel spacers up front. (local dealer ordered the spacers for me) Rear is a direct replacement so it went in with absolutely no problem. I opted for rotors and pulley to match the wheels so my cost might be a bit higher than yours if you decide to not get them. I had $435 worth of powder coating (not sure if chrome costs more or not since I can't remember...) between rotor centers, all the pully, hub and wheel face. Also had them mount avon's on the wheels and opted for the $35(each) rim coating for tubeless.
cost break down is...
23 x 3.5 $1275
18 x 8.5 $895
wheel seal $70
Polished Klassic Rotors $250 (125 each)
66tx1" Klassic Pulley $350
Avon 130/60/23 $240
Avon 240/40/18 $365
Powder Coating $435
Shipping $80
Grand total of (OMG OUCH!!) $3960

No problem at all, I didn't plan on doing wheels as soon as I did since I'd much rather have a good fender than a cratered fender... But upon fitting my new fender I found 2 split spokes in my rear wheel. Needless to say fender and seat got pushed back.... Oh well made the last payment on my chevy yesterday!!!!! WOOO WOOO!!!

Any suggestions on where to get the wiring extension for the apes? I know some of them simply plug together and some must be cut and put together. Put the bars on today to get some measurements and I think they r gonna look good. Would've put a pic up but not sure how. Sad I know.
