Gotta love those new Brembos. What size wheel and tire did you go with up front? Certainly looks awesome!
Big Sky country, spent a week there last July and thoroughly enjoyed the area. Family function so no ride time though.

18 x 3.5 on a 25mm axle. mounted a 140 70 18 pirelli tire. 1 size larger than the stock dunlop really fills the fender.

pirelli is a 73 load rating vs a 63 on the stock dunlop so should get decent wear plus its sticky

I've got a rear caliper and spacer I had made for my '06. Never got around to installing it. If you're interested let me know.

Looks great but I really like the blacked out lowers. Hope to get around to doing that to my Road Glide at some point.

Is that "Chopper Blue"?

If so, do you have the original fender?
