Tire is a 3.25-19 Bridgestone, and the hours spent in the gym seems to have paid off, I was able to mount the tire to the rim using only my bare hands, and some dish soap
Looks good, but watch it with the dish soap, some brands are corrosive to aluminum so it is better to use tire mounting lube...

Aha, I did not know that, thanks for the info.
I used a very small amount and cleaned the wheel afterwards so hopefully it will be fine.

3.25 ... so skinnier than your stock Dyna and even a little skinner than the Rocker's 90mm ... Good move
Yes, the rim is only 2.15" wide, so narrower than Dyna/Sportster wheels.

I could not find a reasonably priced 90/90-19 tire here so I went for the 3.25, I do think the difference in reality is very small, this tire actually measures 95 mm wide when mounted.

Didn't really do anything to the bike, but scooped up this perfect condition J&S jack for $250 last night. Pretty stoked about it.

No, your Dyna era Front "Mag" (ie. 13-spoke) is the same 2.15"

But yes, the laced spoke is 2.5"

I did hear one new noise, a tiny metal "tinging" from under the front of the engine, Checked the new mount and PosiTrac and everything is tight, so I'll have to keep looking. Is it possible for engine vibration to cause the dog bone on the PosiTrac to twist and cause that sound? It is very intermittent.

Check you front fuel tank mounts.

Good suggestion. I did remove my tank lift this winter and replace the hardware with ARP's so that definitely could be it.

This is turning into a tremendous failure. I was trying to build a NorCal style chopper but it seems to be turning into one of those Club Style bikes..
I got mag wheels with sporty tires, T-bars, extended forks, step up seat, S&S engine and performance pipes. I just need some taller rear shocks and I'm ready to join the Dyna bro squad.

Soon you will see me practicing wheelies in a Dixxon flannel shirt
