I bet you say that to all the guys.......


I like the idea of the Heavy breather. As far as bars, I had thought about going to 14" apes. But defintly no z-bars. They look good on some bikes, but I don't think they would fit my style.

As far as paint next year...I plan on keep the base Cobalt Blue (I like that!), and adding some silver, or light colored marblized paint scheme. Was gonna do it this year, but damn, everyone want to get paid for parts and stuff!

Looks Bad ***. May be unnecessary... but bad ***
The fat tire looks good with the long front end.

i love it! im a huge fan of the big rear tire, 300 would be too big. 250 is perfect! where did the kit come from?

The tire kit came from Bros. Mfg in Michigan. I went with them just because their kit came 100% complete, I didn't have to search for anything. Everything I needed, down to the last nut and bolt was included. The kit was about $2200. All totaled with paint, lights, etc....it was under $3000.

Kahaone,

I'm glad their kit worked great for you, as it did for me. Welcome to the club.
