Another shot of the completed job. The shot angle with the vent pipe and all doesn't fairly represent clearances which are quite adequate, (or I wouldn't have done the lift). You can't swing a cat through there but there's no clearance issues and the gauge helps to conceal the tank gap.

Default Wheel!

I need advise
i have bough a 23 DNA front spoke wheel for my BO and and can't decide if I should buy a matching rear or buy the cvo turbine wheel. I can get the cvo rear for 650 dollar and the dna rear for around 1200 so it's almost twice the price.
the wheels are chrome.. buyers remorse
What would you guys do?
thank you from Sweden
