Finally decided to take the plunge on chrome wheels and.........

$560.00 - Chrome 9 spoke wheels, bearings & sleeves (exchange, free shipping)
$120.00 - Two front polished rotors w/chrome bolts (exchange, free shipping)
$214.00 - Polished rear rotor, chrome pulley & pulley bolts (exchange, free shipping)
$15.08 - Chrome rear rotor bolts (MOCO)
$222.98 - Metzeler ME880 Marathon tires (free shipping)
$20.99 - Dyna Beads
$65.95 - Labor to install bearings, sleeves & mount Metzelers
$178.31 - Billet rear break lever (MOCO)

I realize the saddlebags pretty much cover the rear rotor and pulley but I just couldn't get myself to mount the old chit on the new chrome rim.

I'm most happy with the fact that I did all the work myself (except mounting rubber and bearings).

My first time R&R wheels, rotors, pulley.......it was a blast, a VERY reasonable final price for all that was installed and I think it looks great.

BTW, took it for a putt yesterday........the Metz's are awesome!!

What say you?

 

........a few more pics......

 

Sure doesn't take long, does it!
$3043.40 on the '05 'Bagger'!!
No inside motor work yet either!!
That's coming this winter.

 

Nice work. Bike looks good. I'm not sure about those fins on the tailpipes though?? Having sum trouble adjusting to that look. Just sayin!!

 

Looks nice. I like the rear brake lever too. Nice touch.

 

Looks Great! Congrats!!

 

Looks sweet. I've been thinking about going this route on my SG. Can't make my mind up on the 9 spoke or chromed SG wheels. Great value and looks great.

 

$4500 spent so far and still no rims. But at least the wife can ride like a queen. HAHAHA

 

for someone who has never R&R wheels sure is a nice lift you have.
bike looks great

 

love the bike and the lift. good job
