Its like mine but a little more stretched it seems.
Should be almost the same as yours (with the fat tire), with longer wheel base you need more maneuvering room in parking lots

Great looking bike, by the way. I really like those pipes.
I wasn't sure about the pipes (came on bike when I bought it) but they have grown on me & seem to go with the flow of the Bones

Very nice! I like the style. Maybe a simple pin stripping design on the rear and front fender?

Going to get a feel for its personality, but I was thinking that maybe in red & white next winter on the denim pewter.

Not running a front fender (it's just me).

Rockerz,

I've got so many questions for you, I don't know where to start lol!

Did you lower the front suspension at all? I've seen bones with 21 inch wheels, and stock suspension and don't like the looks. But I see yours, and it looks different.
So if you did change it, what did you use, and how many inches?
Thanks

Suspension is stock. I raked it 7.5* which dropped the front 1.5" but with the 23" it raised it .5" over stock height

I put on a 18" rear wheel which also raised the rear .5" thus the bike is sitting level as it did in stock form.

Hope this makes sense.
