    The bars are Bulls Horns but they're 2 years old now so I can remember the details. Inch and a half and hidden wiring type!

    Front wheel is a King 48 Fat Spoke 21 x 2.15 fitted with Metzler Marathon Whitewall MH90-21 from Walka @ VPW (forum sponsor).

    Check out the VPW website for the most current price and then give Walka a call for forum member discount.

    Matching Disc Brake Rotors also available.

    Best money that I've spent - never had as many positive comments on how it changed the bike.

    OK... I looked it up for you.... the wheel is $407 and the tyre $261.

    If you don't need whitewall, then it's almost $100 cheaper for that tyre.

    Ta , did your std discs bolt up to it

    Yeah standard front discs do fit.

    What size wheel axle do you have? They changed from 3/4 to 1 inch in 2000.... mine is the 3/4 axle.

    You may have to shorten (or make some new ones) the axle spacers because the new wheel has bearings flush to the wheel whereas the standard RK are inset. Not a hard job to do it all though.

    99Roadking , did you notice any change in handling with that rim tyre combo over the stock setup ?
    The guard remains at stock height right ?
    Rails and hardbags do look trick , but that front rim just sets it all of man , Cheers

     The steering is a bit lighter and makes the bike easier to handle in traffic. Didn't remove rhe guard but had to modify the front bumper mounting bracket to clear the extra 20mm overall diameter increase in size. I used to love the leather bags but now the hard bags are my favourite.

    I went with the Willy G Skull motif and as usual (and to the wife's disgust) there is a long way to go yet.
