Bassani 39" fishtail true-duals. I picked up 36" beach bars a couple weeks ago, keep delaying because I hate soldering wires. Father's Day, I asked for wheels.

Picked her up from the Indy (Saturday, been straight out riding her since) New complete chrome front end, installed Progressive 422 RAPS, and monotubes, and went with the Fueling complete conversion cam chest kit. Just need to get her Dyno'd, but this kit seriously woke my girl up. I didn't like the wheels, for some what was supposed to be chrome hubs were more unpolished and looked bronze. Haven't decided to go Ride Wrights yet.

and old school twisted spoke. But 21" up front and 18" out back.

I like the look of fat spokes in 21 and 18's but think they look "not right" on the springer front end. I think it's the way the fender is shaped

Long live The Cholo!

Do the torque cones recapture some lost ft/lb's as well? And what kind of different sound are we talking about, more crack or more bass?

Let's see: Custom Dynamics LEDs, mirrors, derby-timing-air cleaner covers, powder coated rear brake arm and pad, luggage rack, black shift linkage component including barbed wire linkage (ha ha), eliminated heel shifter, engine guard and LED fuel indicator and black gas cap. Negotiating for a mustang seat. Mid frame deflectors, swingarm bag, shift peg and quick release windshield hardware on order. Need to get highway pegs, and eventually new ape handle bars and new grips. Whew!

swapped my blue fenders for black ones. I like the contrast, will eventually add some black to the tank like the blackline softails.

To me the sound differences are a little of both. More bass from my experience, gives my cholos more low end sound and torque.
