how would you describe the handling of a bike with a 180 or bigger front tire?

 

bump for the afternoon crowd

 

I'm not sure, but it looks AMAAAAAAAZING!! I love when people put fat tires up front. Looks F'ing sick.

 

Never ridden one but had a few beers with that crazy mo fo...shoot, I've got some pics but they are on my desktop and I'm 4 hrs from home. Anyways, one crazy azz partying sob....lol

 

As soon as I win the lotto or rob a bank, (Whatever comes first,) I'm gonna get me an Exile bike and I'll let ya know!

 

It has a 200 front and 250 rear. Triple trees were custom made.
127" motor, 6 spd RSD. The worst part 'bout it, I am not a fan of drop seats. (6' 6") I didn't ride it enough to really get it onto the 'edges' of the tires, but did get it out on the interstate and several miles on 2 lane, and some 'round town. It is fun, handles good, BUT I don't believe I would want one, full time. I helped build this one, but they jus' aren't my cup o' tea. (The drop seat, NOT the fat tars) It's FOR SALE.

 

thanks for that input Da Gumpmeister, that is a fine looking machine- would u say that u had to muscle it around more than usual? off ramps, etc..

 

IMFUO, it WAS more work in town, But if you're rolling decent, I'd say I really didn't notice it.
BUT then, I am still beating my brains out with a hardtail at 56, so take that into consideration.

 

LOL! gotcha, thx amigo!!

 

i put a 180 on a friends bobber project... in town just sucked man, felt like a super long rake almost, had a FLOP type feeling... but going strait, on the highway... just AWESOME!!!! turning and stop light turning... was tough to keep... felt like i was fighting it the whole time... he has since dropped to a 140... much nicer!!!
Da Grump is that an exclusive cycles frame?
