Thanks! The wheel is a DNA 40 spoke 18 X 3.5 and the tire is Dunlop K177 120/90H-18 if you want to go with the same set-up. I got the wheel from KC International and the tire on ebay. The tire was $138 shipped from the seller below.

It is a DNA, but I had to wait for a few weeks for it to be built. It was $358 shipped, so it was too expensive.

Sorry I was asking over the 18" WW tyre, but you also answered that above, thanks! Wasn't aware they made them in 18"! White walls that is!

Nice work, as always, on your HS. It is really a subtle, yet noticeable change on an already really nice HS. The larger diameter wheel "lightens up" the look of the front end. The narrower tire may follow ruts in the road a little more than the stock tire, but if it does it will be negligible. The wider bars do offer more leverage, so it feels a little bit like power steering when you start your lean or do a "U" turn.

Enjoy and ride safe, my friend!

I've always had a weak spot for Springers. While mine isn't a Heritage I do have a 05 Springer. I like what you have done to yours to make it a head turner. I have an idea for ya, I also relocated my front turnsignals to the front forks but I also did one more thing, I switched out the orange lenses for smokey lenses. I have smokey lenses front and back and I have found that it makes the signals blend in more with the bike instead of making them stick out like a sore thumb. Just an idea

I'm definitely going to relocate the front signals from the bars. I don't like that look at all. I bought a set the newer, smaller bullet signals, and I think I may end up going with the smoked lenses.


On a side note, I got the half moon floorboards and brake pedal installed tonight, but I haven't got any new pics yet.

I was thinking that too, but I wanted to see how it all turned out first. I just ordered brackets (too lazy to make them before my trip) to relocate the signals to the front end.

I'm real anxious to see the floor boards on. I know what they look like, but on yours it will really set it off.
