Definitely not my thing. I've noticed A LOT of them on the market lately on a FB Harley for sale site. Who would buy these ridiculous bikes? smh

Just a fad, fading away, taken over by murdered bikes, which, when done properly, can look cool. I like black and chrome on my RK. Just the right amount.

Just to bug the anally retentive among you lol, here's mine which I ride everywhere. Fad maybe, but I intend to keep mine for quite awhile. Now where did I leave my sparkly levi jacket with the extra long fringe on the arms, time for a ride.

I wouldn’t mind a 21 on the front as long as it’s accompanied by enough rubber. Anything bigger... no comment.

I'd have one if there was a boulevard to cruise near me. These bikes probably aren't any good for the twisties.

Still, if the person that owns the bike likes it, why should anyone care?

I agree that the 21 looks great on a SG and I also think the really big wheels ( 26-30) are on the way out and they look goofy . I also think the stock size looks teeny after getting used to my 21. The 21 fills the stock fender perfectly and you don’t have to adjust the rake or any of that crap.

Beautiful Bike! I wasn't ready to mess with the triple tree, so I went with a 21", but really like the 23s.
