Your rear tire size is confusing is it a 170/70/16?

How do you like that rear tire name brand and handeling?
honestly, i didn't have good enough tread on the tire to begin with to give you a fair comparison, it was pretty worn down when i bought the bike & i had just been lazy getting new tires on. in comparison to what i was rolling, it's a night & day improvement, replaced both tires & brakes, really happy so far!

Where did you get that tail light? Also do you not have turn signals?

Tail light: http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/p2063/...late-bracket-/

& no turn signals, I'm removing the fronts as well. I use arm signals. I know that many ppl on here frown upon this but it's my bike, my choice..

Loving the rear fender and tire size, I can't wait for my rear tire to be worn so I can go bigger! Not a huge fan of the brown seat but like you said, it's your bike! Any plans on going with white wall on the front too?

no plans to white-wall the front, i love the juxtaposition of the 2.

haha, i feel you. when my girl wants to ride i trade bikes with one of my good friends who has a triumph boneville & she & i ride his bike & he takes mine, it's perfect! & the ride is great, i've only had it a few days but i live in LA, many roads are ****, pot holes, etc., & i'm totally happy with the ride.
