I stopped at my local dealership yesterday and they actually had the wiring ext in stock and sold it to me cheap. First time for everything I guess! Thanks a lot M I K E for the offer tho!

Should I have a gap like this in the risers? I know its gonna have a small gap but didnt know what normal size was.

You should definitely have a gap between. If not you ain't getting a good clamp on the bars.

Thanks again Ink. I ordered my wheels this week and I'm gonna order the HHI wide glide trees this weekend. I know you said before that I will need bearings and fork stop. Anything else? should I go with the kit that HHI has for the axle or just buy the axle from somewhere else?

They will look very nice!

Did you shop around for best price, where did you purchase them from? I can't decide to go with ride wright fat 50's with smooth rim or the DNA mammoth 52's for my Cross Bones.

We'll see if this works... quote from another thread by trustnobody

I ended up just getting the axle from hhi and only the axle, washer and nut didn't need the spacers since ride wright made the hubs to fit with stock or you can use the spacers from a wide glide.

I did shop around but directly through ride wright was just as cheap and of course they were way more knowledgable. I looked at the Dna wheels as well. They look great but I was afraid a cheaper wheel would be cheaper made. That's a lot of money to waste. Peace of mind I guess.
