Pulled the Trigger on some new Wheels
UPDATE: Added chrome cow bells and lower sliders along with Progressive Monotubes lowered an inch. Also added a Yaffee flush mount axle.
BEFORE the chrome sliders & progressive monotubes lowered an inch:
Drew at Hogpro hooked me up with a set of Hogpro Torque 7 wheels w/
ME 880 tires. 21 on front & 17 on rear. I ordered them last Wednesday and received them on Monday. Very fast delivery time!!
The bike rides great but the 21 front wheel raises the bike up quite a bit. I know a lot of ppl lower their front forks & I may go that route in the future but for now I ordered a longer jiffy stand made by PM, should be here today along with a Paul Yaffee Yaxle. The chrome on these wheels is awesome.

Looks good dude. If it were me I wouldn't lower the front any, the 21" makes the bike look killer going down the road imo.
Also if it were me get the chrome front end installed, it will make the bike stand out a little moe, im just say'n.

That's on my list of "ways to spend $$$ on my bike". I was going to install chrome lower sliders and the wheels at the same time however I decided to wait so I could decide if I wanted to lower the front forks. Didn't want to have to disassemble the forks twice.

Bike looks awesome! IMHO the bike rides a little bit nicer with the 1" lowering kit plus good fork oil so If you were going to do a chrome front end anyways that would be the time.

Looks great man! Actually looks like an 18" rear to me, im running the 21/18 combo with metz 880s as well, the bike does lean over a little farther but hasnt been an issue for me.
