Bill very very nice. What backrest is that and is it effective? I would like to remove my sissy bar, pad and luggage rack but the driver b-rest that I have is real tall a bakup I think is what it is -- it works good but a bit tall and I don't see any way to lower it.

Hey Bill,,
I am so impressed with how great that wheel looks I decided to do mine this winter. Just scored a wheel on Ebay and am going to use a 130/70-18 Dunlop E3 tire, it's real close to the OEM tire height but narrow enough to take the corners well. Also think instead of cutting my axle spacers I'll machine some new ones out of stainless. NICE !!!!

Nice idea Bill, I just happen to be a Machinist with my own CNC Shop. Let me know if you need something sometime. I do both CNC Lathe and Millwork.

OK, Just debating what to make them out of. , probably Stainless and then polish em. By the way, are you going to mill the lower forks? I'm thinking of an alternative method. Maybe narrow the wheel where the Rotors bolt on. Then I don't have to cut my lower forks and the caliper can stay in the same position.

Thanks Cliff! 6000 miles on the wheel mod now with no problems or regrets. I need to update my pictures though. I have a hypercharger intake now that I've modified from butterfly to perferated mesh intake making it full time ram air. I modified it because apparently I can't leave well enough alone and have to meddle with everything like a kid in a sandbox playing with his toys
