Looks kill! I personally LOVE the look of the 19" wheel and mid glide. If you don't mind me asking, what did the trees and wheel set you back? Been thinking of doing this myself. I really want to do a Forty Eight set up, but a mag wheel/wide glide would be my second choice.

i believe the trees were $550 , not sure about the wheel , it was a custom set-up . The rim itself is powder coated not painted like the 48 , the hub & spokes are high quality polished stainle$$ , not HD . The guts of the fork tubes is all new . They were originally low forks , the kind that bottom out crossing a garden hose (kidding).
got my Mustang seat today , no more gel pad on top of stock nut buster .
Thanks everyone for the high five on all work done so far !!!!
I have a few co-workers (baggers) who have that "you'll be sick of that bike if you rode mine" but they're just jealous & in debt up to their eyeballs .....lol

You can use pretty much any wheel you want. I used a wheel off a '06 RK on mine... purchased both wheels for $80.
