Comps from the likes of you guys, with your awesome bikes, each individualized the way we each like, really means alot to me. Plans for next year.. I have some ideas, but for now it's time to ride! The front is not raked, just lowered 2". As for the bottom line... I'm not sure I really want to think about it. Wheel - 840 Fender - 320 Tire & mounting - 200 Powder coating pass boards, used fork tins & powder coating, braided SS brake line, fist fulls of new stainless fasteners, paint, ported manifold, ect. - Didn't even keep track... I'm going to have a buttload of stock parts to unload to help recoop some of the cost. Thanks again everyone. Paul You also forgot to add up all the time you put into this. But like Mr_Shamrock says..... Priceless!!!!!!   Logged     Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1222 Re:Finally Finished Pictures 2 Years, 1 Month ago   Hey Paul, Just wondering if you have more feedback on the wheel now that you have some riding time in. I think you mentioned that this was the first R* wheel for Thomason. Did they nail the hub/bearings on the first try?   Logged     build woc woc|top shop bags|thomason 21|alpine 600 watts|bad dad| tricky air|forcewinder|todds bars|cv baggertail|ifr lic frame   The administrator has disabled public write access. #282083 EasyRiderKY (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 22 Re:Finally Finished Pictures 2 Years ago   Hey, I'm new here. Heck I'm new to Road Stars, just got one last week. This is by far the best looking one I have ever seen, I'm totally drooling all over myself. I have a couple of questions about the things you have added. 1. What brand/size are those Bags? 2. Where do you find one of those round bars that bolt into the sissy bar support brackets? I'm ready to start customizing mine, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jon   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282163 cass (User) If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I think you mentioned that this was the first R* wheel for Thomason. Did they nail the hub/bearings on the first try? Yes, he nailed it perfect on the first try. I was a little worried about how the rotor was going to center, but it slipped right into place. I finally got a chance to try it in the twisties. The setup like I have it: Front lowered 2 inches, stock springs cut 1.75 inches 140/70 tire 7 wt oil Tricky Air shock bumped up to pretty stiff I have to say I think it handles as well or maybe better than stock (but I did still have the stock Bridgestone on). I did try riding it before I lowered the front and it would take a large parking lot to turn that puppy around! Dropping the front made a huge difference. All in all, I'm really happy with the mod.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access.
