True, but most people don't do the work themselves and the cost to return it to stock might be high.

Every time I see this:




It reminds me of this:



Then again it could be the same idea as this:



I think the big wheel motorcycle owners want this but didn't know it.

If he did it himself he would know how long to do it. And if he took it back to the place that did the work, if he used the same price as a go by, he would be close.

all depends on who is doing the work and willing to take it back.... Hell, a person out there might like it like it is and buy it already done.... All depends on the situation.

Some states consider the frame, when cut, as a trashed frame and its "totaled". So you could not trade it in at a dealership if they knew it was cut. With a bolt on, your fine.

That only took 5 years to respond to.

IMO the big wheel trend is over...I don't believe any quality tire company makes tires for them...you have to buy those weird Chinese off-brands...in a few years you won't be able to get tires in those sizes at all ...

Tons for sale...none are selling..ought to be able to pick up a used one for pennies on the dollar

My advice? Don't do it. Don't take a perfectly good motorcycle and turn it into a circus wagon.
