Thanks Dyna.
Reach and feel are great, not as aggressive as the stock drag bars felt to me.
I didn't have to change cables. But they just barely made it; Definitely took some creative thinking.

What size are those bars in the rise? How tall are your risers? If you recall I wouldn't mind hearing the length you had to use for throttle cables, clutch cable, and brake line... Your scoot looks great! I dig the way that round sissy bar looks. Is that the Harley round bar or did you fab that one?

R.I.P. BROTHER
Need some advice from the Night Train Crew.
I just cant seem to pull the trigger on an 18" back wheel for my bike. After asking around I have found that I can in fact go from my 16" X 3" with a 150/80 tire to a 18" X 4.25 with a 160/60.
I'm looking at just putting a chrome 60 spoke on the rear and doing the front at a later date with a matching 60 spoke 21" with maybe a slightly fatter tire. Emphasis on slight.
My quandry is wondering whats gonna happen when I slide that 18" on the rear in place of that 16". If I will end up having to raise the rear up for clearence issues then I do not want the 18".
If going to a lower profile 60 series tire makes for a very rough ride in comparision to the ballonish 80 series thats on there nowe? Once again I'm not sure.
What I do not want to happen is going from slammed and sleek to having my adjuster bolts cranked up and suddenly having a big gap in the rear.
RThomps bike (Russell) is a good example. He has a badass Train. I dig the stuff he has done. But what wouldnt work for me would be a big gap like what he has....NOw I realize he is running a 18X5 and is definately having clearence issues hence the raised up rear end. My question is for those who are familiar with a stock fender setup comboed with an 18" and a 2.25" drop. Can I keep the drop? Will I suddenly be rubbin' all over and having issues?
As you can see in the background i already own a dirt bike with lots of clearence!! I want my Harley slammed. Or would the correct wording be "Slamt".
Thanks Gents!

I said this before, I've been checking in to this for a long time. You can go with a 18"X3.5" rim with a 140 tire to get it in the fender... Check out "Branner's" bike or on the badboy picture thread "97's" badboy thats what they are running ask them questions they are 2 of the coolest guy I know... and they will tell you to check out BlackBike for the wheel.
Branner bike... Hope you don't mind J.

I require a small licensing fee to release my photo's, put the check in the mail... lol
Chaz,
The difference between your 16" and an 18" wheel *when tires are mounted* will be (at most) 1/2 inch. The profile on the tire decreases as the radius increases. In the end you'll see more wheel and less tire.
Any questions pm me and I can send more pics, better than story's stolen pics...
Take care.
