Looks good Bryan. What size rear did you go with?

I'd go larger but they only offer 3.50 on the site. If I remember correctly, I should still be able to fit a 150 on it.

i run 18 x 3.5's front and rear....Metz ME880's rear is 150, front 140...bike handles way better than stock...you can get a 160 on a 3.5 and it will fit on your bike(06 and earlier)....when you choke a 160 down to 3.5 it loses some of its handlin quality...160 witha 4.25 works very well and will go on an 07 perfect, ours will almost rub the belt...we could go to the skinny belt but that means changin to skinny pulleys too....i have run Avons and Metz, both have been great tires with good wear, they grip way better than the dunlops...to me there's no difference in either brand that i can notice....now, there ya have it

You guys suck, now I am jonesing for a set of wheels too. Good news is they just would not look quite right on a classic, so guess bike choice may have saved me some green for now.

I like the look of Exile's fat front tired bikes, would love to put a fatty front and back and have the wheels black with chrome spokes. Maybe I will look around and see what I can find on classics. Tired of cleaning spokes too... [:'(]

go for the 21/18 set up, I initially went with 18s all around--but I really wanted a 21.Purchased the 21 two weeks later sold the 18 w/metz 880 for 1/2 of want I paid on ebay---did not matter I wanted the 21.


The 21 fills up the fender ----a chrome 21 with a chrome windshield will look sick on your bike and you have a motor to back the bling up.

Your pulley should bolt right up.

I agree with going to a 4.25" rim. It just looks a little better IMO. I am going with a 21x3.5 w/ a 120/70/21 and an 18x4.25 w/ a 150/70/18. Basically I am trusting HogPro on this. Although I may not buy from them as I am going with a laced wheel. They sell them, but it's not their specialty like it is with Black Bike Wheels or others.

I prefer Metzler ME880. They handled better than the Avon Venom X I had prior to the Metz. Can't help you with the braking question. I have only had stock rotors on my bikes.
