Is that a 21" front wheel?

Here is my baby going back together.Check out the PM wheels and rotors!

Dude...that is too funny! I spent about 30 minutes drooling over those PM Gassers, (or possibly Judge), yesterday with Tom at HDNT. I have bought three bikes there, just recentlymy Pewter 08 SG and I was there to discuss wheel mounting etc yesterday. Danny said "you have to go back and see Tom to check out the wheels on the Road King." Well, suffice to say when I saw them I was knocked out and I knew I had to have them. I hope you don't mind...pretty big city so not like I'm stealing your custom I'm knocking the whole 18 vs 21 front wheel thing around still and Tom even lowered your bike and rolled the rear wheel/ tire and held it in front of the 21 to give me an idea of looks. To me the rotors and the wheel combo is the slickest looking set I've seen and now I've all but decided to go for it. If I could only make up my mind on the 21 vs 18 thing!

Did you have to enlarge the front fender holes so the tire would fit? How much room do you have between the fender and tire?

Looking good Ric, but I still say you should have done the work yourself. When do you get it back???

King Kong...I don't see another one on their website at this point other than the Torque, and it doesn't do it for me. I believe you have the Gasser. The Judge is quite a bit different in detail, so I'd probably go that route. I had been looking at the chrome Wrath, Gasser or Judge before I had seen the contrast wheels. Sent you a PM as well.

I can't see the pic. Could you post a link to your photobucket page so I can check it out? I think I want to do a contrast cut wheel, mine's black too. Thanks.
