nice pic.

So nice it appears to be photoshopped !.......j

How does that even remotely look photo shopped? I took it myself just yesterday!!

[Jack]

 
usually when I pull off the road such as this picture presents,
my tires show the dust from the surface off the road.......

the clarity of image is exceptional as well.......

Hey Dangle where'd your pic go ? ? ?.........

The pic on page 17? Its still there on mine. Dust on the tires from a paved road? I've never had it. Thanks for the clarity compliment, its my Samsung 5 megapixel camera phone. And as for the photo shop thing, why would I spend the time to photo shop something to post on a FORUM? Let alone im pretty sure my phone isn't even equipped with such a thing. You are an IDIOT!!

thanks for the compliment Dangle ! I have been called worse.

It started out as a compliment.

Oh, that dust thing

Nice rockinred ; I am the market for some new wheels, what size is that front wheel?  I am looking at some 21x3, but not sure if that will be too big.

If that is a 21, any big changes in ride or handling?

Very Nice Rockinred

Thanks guys!  

tjp,  the 21 wheel was a bit to get on the bike.  I had to raise the front fender an inch because it wouldn't just bolt on.  Also, I had to find reducers, because the front axle is 3/4 and the 3/4 bearings were too big for the breakout wheel which is a 25mm and the ends stuck out too far out of wheel hub (no solution).  So I had to find some aftermarket reducers and take it all to a machinist to get set properly to line up with caliper etc...  The rear is a pretty direct bolt on but the bearings still have to be replaced to the 3/4.  I also lowered the front an inch to compensate for the geometry of the wheel raising up so it kept the bike pretty close to factory for riding level.  I do have air on the rear so not sure how much that affects the handling geometry but it sure is waay better than stock suspension.

I guess that's about it on that.  Those wheels are now on back up and so are the front tire for it.  You have to go with dunlop on that tire because that was the only maker that made a low profile tire for 21 and keep the 130 fat width.  

Let me know if you have any questions.  It was quite a bit of work for something I had originally thought was a bolt on change, but the fender didn't clear.

Thanks for the info rockinred; I am working with a local shop and they insinuated that a 21 could just be a bolt on project..which I highly doubted, as mine is a 2008 and stock 17 front.

That information REALLY helps me.  I am going to do some more research.  While I love the 21, I may just wind up going with a 19 to try and get a bolt on project to work.

Will post my results once finished with the new wheels.  I am going reverse engineering and looking for 40 spoke wheels for the retro look....but damn I really wanted to go for the 21 front...decisions, decisions, decisions.

PS - your bike looks great! excellent mods.

Waw! Great job very nice bike.
