Personally, I like your rear wheel with the look of your bike. And I prefer matching sets.

So, your no-start was a result of plugs gapped wide? Maybe I missed something.

Thanks I like the stance and prefer matching wheels also. I think When business picks back up I am gonna splurge on a set of after market mags a 16 ir 17rear and a 19 front.

I havent got to ride since I pulled the plugs and regapped but I think it was a combination of carbs not venting and too wide a gap. Earlier in my build thread my buddy Jim pushed me into using the Autolites and it wasn't a problem I havenbt had a fouling problem until I went back to NGK's but then again the vents were plugged on my carbs since I put it together was planning on a 200 mile weekend but that didnt happen

i just looked at your free range work. Very nice. u have some talent the my man.

as for the wheel, u may want to check out your 19" tire options, just to be sure u can get want u want. i think they may be limited in modern rubber .

when u get into the popular sizes u can get dual and triple compound tires. so u have a harder compound in the center for tire life, and softer rubber on the sides for grip.
i use the Dunlop Road Smart Sport touring tire right now and i have even taken it to the track. lots of grip and long lasting to boot. saves money. :)
