Rear is a 18x5.5 with a 200 on it. However if I could do it again I would want a 17x6 with a 200. Buddy has one on his 10 Road Glide and it is a better ride.
The seat is a Danny Gray.Made for the Yaffe stretched tank. Good fit but it took alot of work to get it to fit just right. The tank in it self took around 10 hours of body work to get it ready for paint.Not straight at all.
Here are a few things to think about. 100.00 to seal tank.I had pro do it a radiator shop.Mud work on tank 10 hours=440.00( I did that work and paint).And then changing out fuel pump 165.00. I did that my self.
So 1000.00 for tank and seat plus 100.00+440.00 +165.00=1705.00!!

Rear fender was a bad dad but I didnt like it a whole lot. I went with the black CVO rear fender which goes better than bad dad anyway.
I was looking for the old school hot rod look and that set up really worked since the CVO fender looks like a cadillac tailight set up.
Paint job like this will cost you about 4 to 5 thousand. Lots of work..
