    Default 23" Tire installed

    Got tired of looking at trees and tire mounted on on new rim. While waiting on big forks. So went ahead and did it. Trees, wheel & tire installed.
    Test ride tomorrow ..Fork tubes show up and then I will do fender.

    That looks sharp! What are you planning on for a fender?

    oh my god why why why would you do this?

    Just buy a harley big wheel, sorry but it does not look good, next step is to install a coffee holder and speakers and a big batwing.

    I took one small ride it was dark and cold but only deference at this time is it laid bars back more and went to turn around on a narrow road and took 2 or 3 times backing up to make it around. Don't seem to turn that tight as good as it did. It is longer for sure. But rode great on the roads and twistie. I have a few fenders lined up! But waiting on 1pc fat fork tubes and I need all these measurements to oder the correct size. I have made brackets to mount about any fender to stock fork mounts.

    Front wheel/tire is too skinny, throws off the look of the bike. maybe when a fender is added it'll look more in place.

    WOW! Your bike looks awesome! It is definitely a head turner! I can't wait to see it in person since you put that wheel and tire on. What are you planning to do with the old rims? I might be interested in them. Oh wait, you have that 300 on the rear don't you?

    OH MY FRIGGEN GAWD ! that looks pure SEXY...i was astonished to see someone actually up the thread that didnt like it in any way shape or form...WHEW ! good thing it isnt HIS bike or he"d be really pissed LOLOLOL

    its got to be really great to see your vision taking reality....keep it goin...

    NOW, if you wanted my opinion ( yeah,the one you didnt ask for) i would paint it all black and that alone would get you a 5-7 horsepower increase.....we all know BLACK is fastest !

    Over 95 days and counting waiting.
    Had a poker run today! 125 miles . Rode great. People did not know what to think . Big tire front and back. And then (What is it) ! Had good time. Most liked it ! :thumbup:

    Default So So Jealous

    Man that 23 looks sooo good
    i noticed your mods list has your exhaust as a cobra swept
    have you modified it because it looks shorter than most
    i have been looking for an exhaust just like yours but i can only seem to
    find the longer cobra swept pipes

    Those are freedom pipes. Good pipes! Just do not go to low. Like most pipes they will drag if you do! Love the sound and looks!

    If it still tracks nice, I don't see any downfalls with doing it.
