Default Finally pulled the trigger

I called the Doctor and order the Shotgun Shock and Progressive Monotubes today. I could no longer fight the urge to get them. I figured since I currently have the tank pulled for a bar swap, I might as well do the front forks. And if I'm going to do the front, I might as well do the rear. I held off on the Ride Wright's for now as I am still trying to feel the whole tire situation out. Tomorrow I am going to order mirrors and foot controls and hopefull decide on some 1" risers. I'm looking for something in the Carlini High Roller mold. Once I get that nailed down I can order my cables. Our first bike night of the year is May 5th, so I am hoping to have it road ready by then. Pictures and thoughts to follow.

It's funny how fast **** happens. Cables, bars, risers, air ride, seat, heads, jugs, cams, air cleaner, pipes, thundermax, ride wrights, tires, powdercoat etc.etc..
It's nice to see someone else spend money lol. I have a spending problem too.

I went with the new Carlini Evil Knuckles. I've already got them wired and and ready to go back on the bike. I was going to buy all this stuff over the winter, but with my wrist in a cast and unsure if I'd be able to ride, I was reluctant to spend. Now I'm in prime mode. I imagine I will pick up the wheels before June gets here. I will go with the DB tires if the Vee's aren't readily available.

On the plus side, I think I decided on the Joker Machine Billet Risers. Drew, you guys able to get those for me?

Please review the monotubes when you can. I'm currently saving for them and chrome lowers.
