Yeah, I know, late vote,....but,...I was all set to vote Indy's.....'til I saw the two side by side,...I'd go with the Lemans of the two choices,..but I've always been partial to laced wheels,...yeah, I know,..old school,..not hip enough,......guess that's why I'm still ridin' an '87 FLHT
Oh, by the way,..Biggzed,.....that's a really cool David Mann painting,....love his work......too bad he's gone..

Just a heads up on the rotor removal, you will need a badazz impact, and possibly a little heat to get them off. I broke one torx bit doing mine, and ended up taking the rear wheel to a buddies shop (snowmobile shop) to get the rotor removed , the spocket comes off no problem. So, just suggesting to get that rear rotor off the night before, so that you can get that bike together with the new wheels and get us some pics as soon as possible I get all excited when new parts are coming and want to get them on asap

Not fair, you ask us all to help and now you keep us hanging.....and you just may need the impact to get the rotors off. You can also apply heat on the hub, a bernz-o-matic wil provide enough heat to loosen the locktite and to get them out without an impact.
A tip when pulling the rear axle, make a pencil mark on the swingarm and align with another mark on the axle adjuster cam, makes getting the belt tension back to where it belongs much easier, or you may need to go a touch tighter if it hasn't been adjusted for a while.

Rob and Dalton,
Thanks for the heads up on the rear rotor/sprocket removal. I COMPLETELY forgot that this may be a challenge. The pencil mark is another good tip.
THANKS! I hope I don't break anything.[>:]
