It's nice we are comin' to the end of this fad. The chopper thing is done and pretty soon the bagger big wheels will be done. To each their own.

I am going to have to disaggree with you on the big wheel baggers.
being in the business and seeing the trend changing, I see the 23 and 26 front wheels becoming a standard on street glides and roadglides in the future, but hey that is just what i see.

I saw a guy at our clubhouse on a Road King with a 23 front and 18 rear this past Sunday and I thought it looked sick! I asked the guy who rode it how far he'd ridden and he said LA to PHX, no problems...I personally would only run a 23 on a "bar hopper", but to each his own...it's what makes this sport so much fun!

Y'all be sure to send us the video. But you gotta ride 500 miles a day on twisty windy back roads - no straight away interstates.

Wow, alot of negative people on here! What happen to just appreciating someones idea who happen to step out of the norm? So I understand everyone might like it, but calling it a POS and making fun of it? I'm sure that POS is worth way more than any of your bikes. I guess I was just raised with more respect.

Just because they could doesn't mean they should.

Personally I think it looks as stupid as the wanna-be gansta teens rolling in these lifted Crown Vics and whatnot with the 24"+ wheels. They call them "Donks".

Caprice on 30's. Wonder how much one of those wheels weigh?
