    New rear tire, looks ALOT better then the old tire that was on there. It turned out to be about a half inch wider then my old one.

    The tank fits right on. Its a little taller and wider in the front which makes it about a gallon larger IIRC.

    I actually removed the center stand right after i snapped this pictures. Im going to keep it around, its super easy to put back on if I need to use it.
