Started with the makeover. getting new wheels, new headlight and passing lamps, new seat and 18 inch apes

 

Love those new wheels, big improvement!

 

Yeah, I think she is gonna look pretty good once she is buttoned up. planning to do a chrome front end come winter time. Bought her in May and havent really wanted to take her out much until she gets her dancin shoes on lol

 

I did wheels like that last year, they're gone now. For me it took everything away from the original bike I fell in love with.

 

Looks good. What wheels are they? Did you have to go with the Shinko WW?

 

DNA mammoths and yes I had to go with the Shinkos.. Cant find a whitewall tire anywhere

 

Added cushions on the mustache bars to rest my ankles on for an upcoming trip. Pipe insulation and $1.00 worth of Velcro strip from Hobby Lobby.
It's ugly but effective and comfy!

 

I have them in my cart. But I’m heading to a swap meet this week. And have a few other items I have to get. I need these Fatboy rims gone. I hate them. But the price for the bike was really good. So I’ll suffer for now. I have the wife’s Freewheeler project I promised her. So. Ya know how that goes. But that actually is more important to me too. Making it a Roadglide this winter. So I’m collecting parts now. The Cholo project is so I stop messing with the Roadglide. I tour with it. And there comes a point. Where you went too far. Lol.

anyhow. Thanks for the info. Bike looks great. We’re they direct fit. No ****ing with new spacers.

 

Funny story. My buddy was putting an 04 heritage together and I was gonna buy it. I bought wheels for it.. Then he finally got the motor together and it was making a noise. So I went a different direction and bought this 08. (come to find out that another mechanic that was helping him left a socket on top of the motor and thats what was making the noise) So the wheels I bought would have needed some work to go on that bike. Ended up sending these back (200 to ship the bastards) and then bought the correct wheels for the 08 ($1000 more than the 1st set) to fit right with no dickin around with spacers. These bolted right up. At least the front has. Buddy says I will need new pully bolts for the rear wheel.

 

Hey Sharp. I have a brand new DNA pully that might fit. It's for an 05 Heritage.
