If you're going with spokes, Black Bike Wheels are expensive but top of the line. Had mine on for several years now with no issues/no regrets.

Hey Brian, nice to see you! Another vote here for Black Bike, I've had mine for more than 5 years with no problems. I'm thinking about a 23 for the front, holy ***** they're expensive!

Lowered my ride Sunday, thanks for the springs G! Didnt measure before, so I dont really know how much she came down. Im thinking around an inch or so. I can tell a difference. Cant really tell why I can tell a difference cause its so subtle. I rode it around the block and it handles waaaaaay better . . . . . Im going to take the tops off and cut a little off the pvc to see what I can do. Thanks DB for the words when I was a lil stumped. Give me some thoughts. What do yall think. the pics are shitty, but you may be able to tell.

Notice how the tab on the reflector is much smaller than the housing




Armando... I have the stock head light and it's ready to mail out... When I looked at it i noticed that in your pictures above it seems to be missing the metal ring that goes between the lamp and bucket... So I thought I'd throw up some shots first and see where you stand with yours first... here you go. let me know if you have the part if not i'll just send everything to you.

the pieces


the notch on the back of the lamp


the metal ring...


fits on the notch...


the other 2 notches on the notch of the ring line up to the bucket...


ring in the bucket first...


then the lamp...


no twisting or turning... Do you have the metal ring? If you still need the whole light let me know
and I can send it out tomorrow morning, Mark

7-3/4" 7 1/2" between the dust shield and bottom of the trip tree comes to mind with just 2" springs twisted.I'll look at my notes when I get home.Cutting the pvc will just give you less spring pressure and it usually lets the front end bottom out on bigger bumps when you cut it too short. G.

I cant see the difference but on the positive side, it looks good either way.
