Well it was 60 outside saturday and snowing today. I was in the garage on sat tinkering around I told myself I was not going to ride till I got my matching back wheel but after the 20th or so bike rode by my house I could not take it anymore I fired her up took her on a shake down run all of 13 miles rode to local gas station then to the Harley shop I was surprised first ride since the progressive drop in and the new front wheel and tire didnt get over 55 MPH but so far so good.

It looks MUCH better dropped down like you have it now. I am anti tall skinny front tires but on yours it helps with the effect it has on your bike of a lower rear end.
