4 G's? Ok, those are off my list now...really that much? Although the perimeter brake setup is badass, hopefully that was in the price?

Personally, I don't think I could move away from a fat front rim/tire. Unless I got a really good deal on something bad ***, just love the Mad Max look too much, that fat tire is kinda the soul of the bike.

No, not the perimeter brake, but the matching drive pulley was and they will make the wheel to accomodate the fat tire, plus taxes included will fall right at about $3,800 ish.

The set up I really want, but can't afford right now would be to eliminate the rear rotar. Buy a drive pulley which has the rotar built on it as one piece. Then move the caliper over to the drive pulley side and that will completley expose the custom wheel entirely on the right rear. That set up with the matching drive/caliper pulley along with the wheels falls around the $5,000 range, oh includes tire mounting because when you spend that kinda doe you want them to do it just incase the wheels get scratched in the process.

As you can tell, I havent been thinking about this much haha!

And neither will I...going forward.

I'd rather spend that kind of dough on a 120r crate motor! Or supercharger or turbo.

It'd be a f'ing bitch keeping them clean anyways! Nothing like a black solid wheel for lazy ****'s.

I thought about orange long ago when checking out v-rod wheels, but didn't see something like that for the Lo. However, I would have probably just removed the tank badge. Instead, my bike is in the process of getting a touch more red...

K I am sure JIMSFBL has been gratz'd many times on last American Iron mag issue. His bike has been a hit on my construction site and friends since then. 'Ya man, see the seats...I got to get something done like his' has been my quote as I held out the mag a few times. 'Ya man, wicked stock look' in reply.

Gratz man. Your bike is still one my my fav's as a reference.

Hey Lo's.. I am a noob on this forum.. I've been addicted to this thread for months. it took me that long to read thru all the pages!!! I looked at the lo when iwas lookin for my first Harley. ive been ridin an R6 for years but i smartened up (got older, my back is killin me) and bought meself a Harley... its not a lo but in fact a lowered fatboy... I did see Jimsfbl in AI mag and said "Hell Yeah!!"
To all the 'Jims" in here and dr walkin i salute you!
-Jason
