I think these big wheels threads are kinda of funny. It almost always leads to that looks ghetto or from the hood but for every 1 guy in the hood with it there 50 guys in the suburbs that seen and bought it to be cool plus its the builders that are putting these things on their show bikes

So if you put a 21 on, or even a 23, you can only lower the front end so much........yes?

Eventually they all start going up hilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, .....no?

That has to kill the handling, let alone the ride. The front end geometry must be all out of wack. Seems dangerous at 26.

That would look on your bike just as goofy as they look on a 72 caddy. You going to put hydraulics on it too so you can totally ruin your suspension.

Must be on an air ride system not to have smashed the front fender..........or it never gets ridden..........or maybe they took the springs out of the fork tubes and replaced them with some round bar stock.
