Default 26" or 30" front wheel

I have been seeing more and more baggers with the large 26"--30" front wheels. they look sharp but it's nothing I would go out of my way to change on my ride. I was happy with my 04 Electra Glide just the way it was. 3 weeks ago Bambi changed all that. Now I have to replace forks,front wheel,crash bar, upper and lower farings, tour pack,saddlebags, and the list goes on.
I'm just looking for some honest opinons on stepping up to a larger front wheel and some input from anyone who has tackled this project themselves.

Has far as 26" and 30" wheels go, ask any of guys who make the rake kits (american suspension or Misfit industries) they make them to ride!!

Our personal Road Glide has our 26" rim on there and it rides great!!

If you do it right without cutting corners, your ride will be the least of your problems!
