Exile pipes are only for softails.. I do like the bar setup it pretty comfy for me the drag bars... I may do apes but like I said I am just not sure since I really like the drag setup.

I like the exile look but you need no chrome everything needs to be scotch brited in my opinion for it to look good..

I am just wondring if I should leabe the wheels alone and just add whitewalls or have them Powdered Black with a polished lip with the whitewalls?? Also need to decide chrome pipes or black pipes..

I think the whitewalls will be cool with the blacked out look of the wheels and pipes.
someone posted a picture of a bob with the wheels fully black and it looks sweet!

Dude...start with something. Let it evolve. You can ask and ask for days-no wait, that's what you've been doing. Start, let it evolve...But my God man, start.

I hear but my deal is I am trading a truck for parts.. Meaning I kind of just want to figure something out since I am trading this shop owner my old truck for some parts I dont mind doing the work but he will give me some parts like pipes, PC III, air cleaner and also if I am gonna powder coat stuff he will pick up the bill on that too you know what I am saying...So yes it is cool to go step by step I have done it with my old Chopper build but since this trade needs to happen like next week I am just trying to figure out which way to go so I dont waste any trade on something I didnt really like..

My old chop.......
