Default New wheels on my SG

I bought these wheels and tires (21" 17" w/200) from a member here almost a month ago. He said they had a few miles on them but when I got them they looked brand new. Hell, I thought they were brand new. I've been too busy to post any pictures of them so I'm doing it now. The install was a breeze but I had to really drill out the rear bolt holes on the front fender to get any where near the 1/4 clearance. I wasn't going to lower the front end but now I thinks I might just for aesthetic reasons. What do ya think?

Those are nice. Makes the bike look so much better. How is the ride compared to stock? Now do something with that exhaust!

It took a little while to get used to only because I just did 1200+ miles on the bike a few days before I put them on. I was really used to the old feel. I did the exhaust already. I added Fuel Moto's Jack Pots, PCV, and a/c. Now I'm just waiting to do the cams.

New wheels add such a totally badass vibe to a bike.
