Just got it back from the shop. Please don't mind the ****ty turn signal bracket, the Revo cycle led strip should be in this week.
More mods to come.

Looking at the shape of your front tire, it looks as if your front wheel is 3.5” wide. Am I right? If so, was there any reason you chose that size over the 4.25” wide option? It allows that 160/60 to spread out to its full potential, and gives that front a wider/beefier look. I can’t say that it handles or feels any better, because I have a 3.5” aftermarket and a 4.25” aftermarket, and I honestly can’t tell if one setup is better than the other. However, both of them are very good, in terms of handling and more comfort during the ride.

I bought them off of someone that bought them new and had them sitting there for a few years. I'll have to measure the rim to see what size it is
