Well my VTX rim and metz 200 are officially on.........I am running 10.25 in hard struts, and I would like to find some that are a little shorter....maybe 9 in or 9.25 in..........I want to close the gap between the fender and tire as much as possible....I like the ones with the iron cross on them, but that is not a must....Anyone know where I need to spend a little huh? :mfight:

Dude, no pic= no new vtx rim and 200 tire. For the struts talk to T_Sebastian, he is the man. Also, what inner tube did you use with the VTX wheel? Stock or a different one. I have my stuff on order but dont know about the tube.

I think it would be to small it is a 160/80/15 and the bigger it gets the thinner the rubber is.You should be able to get one at the dealer as long as it is within a 170/80/15 to 200/70/15 it should be good just check the valve I think you need one with a 90* bend.
