Thanks!

Some light mods had to be done. The space between the wheel bearings are about 0,2 mm wider on the FXDWG hub compared to the OEM FLSTSB hub. Enough to make the wheel bearings jam when the axle nut was tightened. I used the original X-Bones spacer and added a couple of chims between the spacer and bearings to solve the problem. The FXDWG rim is a bit offset so I had to adjust the spokes to center the rim between the forks.

Yep, I really liked the Bad Boy when it first came, all blacked out with scallops and everything. I think the 21" balances the 17" rear wheel.. IMO the original 16" front wheel looks awkward and out of tune with the 17" rear.

I agree. the 16" front wheel looks too small

I guess I should add some pics of my own. I'm about 99% complete, no matter what I do I just can't seem to reach that last 1 %.

Nicely done, the Crossbones looks so much better with beach bars and a rounded rear fender. You ever think of powder coating your primary cover?

Default wheel stripe
Baybones,

Very nice bike! How did you do the red wheel stripe? Painted or sticker?
