240 Conversion

Replaced my rear wheel with a set of 2009 Rocker C wheels. It required a 240 conversion kit. Biggest challange was cutting spacers for the wheel. Plan on powder coating once I figure out if I like the contour of the rear fender. Just happy it's back together so I finally ride it.

Swing arm was from a 240 conversion kit. It's the same length as the old swing arm.

I like the Rocker wheels and the fat rear tire look, but something looks off to me??? I think it's the rear fender.

Usually the conversion swingarms are like 2" longer aren't they?

^^^that's what i thought. everyone is into their own thing, personally i think fat tires should be left for the 30k dollar over priced chopper that no one wants anymore. just like an ******* though, that's just my opinion. lol. sportsters should be skinny lane splitters period. i'm such an *******.....

Better than being the whole azz.

I like the look of the fat tire but have to agree not on the shorter wheel base. But to each his own, if the owner is happy with the look at the end of the day that is all that matters.
