Wide Glides normally have 21's. Super Customs had 19's. Looks like a 21 on yours. tp

 

Thanks... For the compliment...
On yours, It's hard to tell from the pic if it's a 21 or a 19.... But still there stance looks real nice....

 

Well, was a couple days ago, so better late then never I guess. Installed my new 16" West Coast T's. Think I found the height and bend I want after having changed up bars about 6 or 7 times now...

Fairing is off until I sort out throttle cables (need one size up, they're a hair too snug) and brake lines - going to a true dual line setup.

 

Over the course of the last week or so, I have been tearing down my Street Bob for powder coat. I cannot stand chrome or polished aluminum for that matter.... black it is.

I dropped the trees, fork lowers, headlight block, horn bracket and tappet blocks off for powder.

I sourced a used set of rocker boxes from a FXDLS and the rest of the chrome will get painted before reassembly.

Fork rebuild, new timken neck bearings and wheel bearings while I am in there as well.

 

Looks good, well done. You do good work!

 

Thanks man! Just been kinda teaching myself how to do everything along the way with the old bike and this one. I'd say I know just enough to get myself in trouble...lol

 

Lol, I have been working on and riding inline four Japanese bikes since I was a teenager. When I got the Harley FXDB in January 2014 I was looking at it and thinking to myself "hmmm, what a strange creature indeed". But I'm learning as I go. It doesn't seem so foreign to me now.

 

Today so far I have removed the front fender:




removed front brake caliper and front wheel:




removed fork tubes, that's it for the day:

 

Swapped out the forwards for floorboards.
