They mail your old rims back to you. They told me it's $50.00 but they threw that in the deal.

It's a bit late for me to Justify.
If I listened to my conscience, I'd never own a bike.


Thanks again, Guys!

Default How do they ride?

Looks great! I plan on changing this Winter. I am thinking 21/17 instead of 18 to keep the height down. What tires did you get? I have been looking at PMs, st chrome $2200 from my favorite HD dealer without tires and mounting.

Tires are Metzeler 880's which is what I was running on the stock rims. I lowered the front with the SE springs kit which advertises a 1 inch drop but after install it measured 3/4 of an inch drop. Between the new springs and SE Oil, the bike handles a lot better in turns and slow speeds, makes a huge difference on balance and takes a lot of the top heavy off the bike. I had that work done when I did the chrome lowers last year.

Thanks! I love this look! I would always drool at the tourers around town that were running the 21/18 combo, now I'm one of those guys.
