    Nice conversion , good job. Looks nice and clean, the Video is nice to watch and the music perfectly matches the scenery... One thing ..the price you bought the original bike for , it is hard to believe..but maybe there is such a big difference to prices here in Germany Anyway, keep up the good work 😀💪

    @Christopher Gonzalez doing a spool wheel conversion is just a matter of figuring out your axle diameter and setting the wheel up between the lowers and finding a center point. For example, my 98 fat boy has a 3/4 axle diameter, so I bought a spool hub 21 for a 3/4 axle. I set the wheel in between the lowers and measured out my spacers based on the inside lower to lower measurement, minus the hub bearing outside to outside measurement. Then, I double-checked the wheels center to the lower legs and the triple trees and had spacers custom cut to fit my application.
