Alpina tubeless wheels will allow you to run your stock brakes and are lighter.   The SC wheels would require you to switch to the smaller 2 caliper brakes found on the Sport Classics.

couple of ideas for you.

paint the exhaust so it doesn't overpower the bike.

either paint the carbon fiber fender or replace it with the aluminum road racing one i've got for sale soon.

lose the rear fender altogether.

powdercoat the spring silver or black

the silver forks look fine as they match the lower triple. so if you go with black forks, black out the lower triple.

the PS wheels would look great. did you look at the ones for sale to the left?

you probably can throw your spring in with the exhaust and get it done for next to nothing at that point.

also, you could think about making a hidden fender underneat and in front of the motor to avoid it being on the spring arm.

i understand though. i live in germany. tons of water on the road.

been thinking hard about the rear hugger issue. probably gonna keep it off at shows and ride with it. but want a permanent invisible solution.

not my bike, but i have this fender I'm not going to use now

I'm actually diggin' the 70's porn tank. And I have to say i've never really been a fan of the ex-box but it really works on your bike. I agree with some of the others that it should be blacked out though. Nice work! Very unique  waytogo

I'll second the chrome megaphones:



And I'll let you guess which way I'd go with the wheels.   Grin
