I like it...in fact I may just have to trade my 883L for one. I dont really care for the tank badge but otherwise its a nice looking ride.

For sure the MoCo has taken the ideas of what other riders are doing to their scoots. They are just following trends and there is nothing wrong with that. I think it speaks volumes for the community we have here and some of you "trend setters" should be flattered. Remember "Imitation is the Highest form of flattery".

You are correct. I think the front end is the same, so you will need the 16'' wheel and tire. I've been thinking about this mod for a while. Now I have an idea what it will kinda look like, and I think I'm gonna go with it. (in the near future.) I have always loved the fat front tire look. EXILE!!!

the front end is differant ,i think it needs to be mid glid to fit the fat tire...........the specs say fatt front end and the fork tubes appear to be mid glide.........look at the specs on the website under key features.........that thing would look damn good rocking some white walls

Isn't that front tire the same as the tire on the Cross Bones? I think they are the exact same specs if memory serves me. I am 99% sure they are the same.
