Over all, wheels may be the first thing people notice. However, I sure get some looks when I pull in somewhere then "drop" the bike down. Personally, I chose the shocks since I could adjust the ride for both myself and when I have a passenger on the bike. Wheels just don't help much when it comes to adjusting the ride on the fly.

There should still be a few photos in my gallery. It took around 1 hour 15 minues for the install. Much quicker than learning to fly an RC airplane or helicopter with or without a flight simulator.

Looks like the troll of the poll is playing with the results.
Shotgun was the leading choice and now it claims 1000 voted for the wheels?

No, you misunderstood. I had them installed at LV Bike Fest and that is about how long the instal took. The owner of the company said they could get them installed in about 1 hour pushing it. Just make sure you have two jacks so you raise and lower the rear wheel too. A few photos are in my gallery/albums.
