Hey glenn, when you get that shift linkage installed post some pics. Id like to see that. Just wonder if they will make one to fit bikes with duals? Like that spoke pulley also, Bike looks **** bro

Yeah the stock shift linkage wont work with Samson Duals, because the left pipe bends down, When I ordered my exhaust, they send you a different linkage to use. So Maybe I could make one fit. You have the same wheels as I want on my deluxe. Do you like em?
Is the quality of the Powder coating Good?

she's been waiting in the shop since nov and just checked pressures front and rear went from 35psi to 32psi

so all good with DNA on my end except rear hub 1/2 inch narrower than stock 08 17x6 harley hub

BTW just picked up diamond fatspoke shift link for mine from DNA for $40 with rodends...nice piece

Glenn
Glenn, Do you know if DNA makes a non twisted spoke shift linkage. I know Drew is working on that right now. Options!

Love the mammoths...figured i would hate cleaning them but that foaming wheel cleaner in a spray can does great with no scrubbing...just hose it off after bout 5min

powdercoat is perfect on mine and holding up great after 1 season (figured the pulley would b toast from belt dust and road grime but it still looks new) and believe it or not i get more comments on them than on the PM Riviera Contrast Cut Platinums that i got on my chopper...and at 1/3 the price

Exactly what cleaner is that? I hate cleaning my 80-spokes!!

I wish someone would make the fat spokes in 19" front & 17" rear sizes?!?!?
