Default Looks good!

Too bad you're waiting until you need new tires to do the powder coating on the wheels, it looks like you've got quite a few miles left on those tires.

Where you gonna' put the tool bag with the new springer front?

My sister does hot rod upholstery so she's gonna make me a custom tooled rigid solo bag for it

And yeah, I really wanna get the rims done, especially since the ENTIRE rest of the bike will be black, but I really don't wanna have to re-lace and re-true them things again for a while, lol. It's definitely NOT fun.

Ok, so with the springer kit you bought, all you'll need is a wheel with a wide glide hub??

Damn...that's a hell of a deal then!

I know the head tubes are different between your year and my 08, so do they sell a 04+ kit or can the one you have be adapted??
