alright so the PM rear wheel went on nicely and the spacers fit perfectly- and get this, the wheel is so perfectly made that no wheel weights were required - it balanced perfect on the machine. so i have 4oz of dynabeads and no use for them now. ;p - but that also says a lot about the Pirelli Night Dragon tire, apparently it is well made.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - going for a ride shortly - pics!!

That makes more of a visual impact than I expected. That really makes your bike pop. Looks awesome.

the stock rotor is floating, looks decent, so really no need to spend the extra $ - and PM does not make a 68T pulley. I called and asked if they could make one and they said "no". oh well.. anyway we'll see how she rides today.

That wheel looks much better, man. I thought the mis-matched wheels looked pretty good - like it does on many other bikes - but it looks much better with the matched set on your bike.

Now about that seat.....

yeh seat is next. i can't stay on the damn thing when punching it from a stop.

Bike feels like it's smoother - took a long cruise today - mostly noticed it at higher speeds so it could have been slightly out of balance on the old stock rim. Definitely digging on the matching look and thanks guys for the helpful prodding
