My 1500 classic bagger build

Well I picked this bike up a few months ago and got spend some time riding it as is. I really liked the bike but it definately needed some changes for my level of comfort and looks. Once winter hit I decided to start gathering the parts that I needed. Here are some picks of the bike as I purchased it and what I have done with it.

Nice ride! Love that front wheel, what needs to be swapped to put that wheel on ? Rotors? Calipers ?

Its a direct swap wheel that doesnt need any extra parts altough I believe they offer aftermarket chrome rotors to match the rim. The rotor is my factory one from the original wheel, calipers didnt need any modification. Uses factory axle and spacers.
