Awesome looking bike! What did you think about the pipes after you got them on? I just put those same pipes on my iron and was very impressed and surprised at how loud and how awesome they sounded. The wind was louder on my bike going down the road than my actual bike was with the stock pipes.

Good clean job with the chop and fender. Glad to see more people taking grinders to their bike and hacking them into whatever they want. Only things I don't like are the struts and the seat pan thingy. I just think a hard tail should be a hard tail. Swing arm bikes with suspension can look good. Check chop cult for that! Hella cool bike though man. Gonna look good with the tank stripped and striped. I see you're fairly new too so welcome.

Nope. Fit with no problems. It's the biggest you can go without other modifications.

Would that tire still fit without scrubbing with factory shocks? i think it would be to tall and would bottom out.
