looks rad!
what rims did you go with? and which brand tires?
that front wheel/tire looks so good. exactly what i've been looking to do. can't decide if i should just buy the rim hoop and relace it to my hub, buy a complete wheel, or pull the trigger and get like a set of DNA's.

They easily handle the twistys on the BRP as well as cruise all day on the interstate.

Cruiser
Compared to something like a Street Bob they feel a little "heavier" in slow tight turns but only slightly. About the only way to really notice it is to get off of one and get on the other.
On the flip side it gives a more stable feeling at speed. The downside there is the narrow front tire seems to follow small slight irregularities in the road surface a little easier, whereas a wider front tire such as on the Street Bob doesn't seem to be effected as easily. Not unstable or squirrelly by any means, just a slight difference.
My son said he doesn't care for the skinny front tire which is why he went with the Street Bob whereas I like the more raked out chopper look of the Wide Glide yet still being a true HD.

I added 2 degrees of rake to mine and I have no problem keeping up or out running most Harley riders, but I realize I am riding a Harley and not a sport bike.

Naturally I think I have the sickest WG...LOL
After a fabricating many of my own parts, like my bars, pipes, and various covers, and what I think is a pretty good mix of black and chrome, how could I think any different...
Lots of really good looking bikes on here, kudos to all for making your rides your own.

This may help, it's actually for the first version I built. New ones are all 3" stainless steel tubing.
