    Gearing for stretch or custom....What are you using???

    What are all of you using for gearing on your stretch or custom builds. I have a 46/16 and it seems a little to tall. A little more so taking off and low speed cruising. I want to lower it a bit but not to low. How much will a 40t difference make? Thanks in advance !!!

    Converted a Threaded fork to accept A-Head Stem...

    Well I wanted Apes on my Cruiser, but didn't want the rise of the goose neck that was stock on my 3G.... I always liked the look of A-Head steams... I found fake stem that allows you to use A-Head steams.... This allowed me to drop the bars down by almost 4 inches. And the plus side is I have an...

    Well I finally found some apes and was so excited I found them in black... I didn't realize they were 24's... Untill after I put them on. Are they too big?
