Looks really nice. I've been wondering what you were going to do with this one in light of how you had the old one.

Now your bike is sick, I love that rear end. I'm glad to hear lowering the front is a good thing. I'm going to try and wait till winter for that though. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the extra photos! Very (very) nice. Congratulations!

Those wheels sure look sharp. And seeing that 200mm tire back there reminds me of what I miss from my '08 Fatboy.

Cheers!

I've heard about that. I did the "tape a 1/4" nut to the wheel then spin it" and it made it through. It's close but it seems okay. The tech was suppose to drill out the rear hole with a 3/8" bit in the fender then tilt it, but he didn't. So far about 300 miles and all is fine.

I may do that anyway for peace of mind.............a 5/16" nut rubbed. So it is pretty close.
