hey, Thanks for taking the time to update me...as I suspected once I saw your earlier post, the Wide Glide fender I thought would work, didn't...

But you saved me a lot of work with your part numbers etc...

So this week I'll order that correct fender...I wouldn't mind seeing your pics...but again, thanks for being cool and sharing the info.

Default ISS That Your Bike LoneRider?

Man it looks absolutely sick. I'll bet that front wheel cost a grand or more!

The bike looks f'n cool.

Can you post more pics of it?

I'm running a 21" spoked front with a 3.5 or 3.75 wide tire. The bigger tire makes for a fantastic ride at least on mine anyway.

Best regards,

FiftySixer

Won't haunt my dreams. I think the 23" wheel is a joke. I'd never put that on my bike.

Here is the people that make the rim http://www.smtmachining.com/ the rim is 3.5", believe it is 2" under springer and the tire is an Avon Cobra and this is all I know, found it doing a search for sportster w/23" rim and i agree with you she is sick and I am trying to figure out how to put one on a stock front end which sadly I don't think is going to happen because of the width of the tire, however; looking into Vee Rubber that makes a 120/70-23" which should have a smaller width, waiting on a reply from them, and I know a 23" is not every ones cup of tea, hence the latter post.
