I say if you did it you would have to ditch the 16" tire and go 21". I did take the time to read the web site because I initially made the same assumption others had. I figured there would be a massive amount of negative trail making it a scary ride as soon as the stand went up. They did their homework and design a system that works (proven by the relaxed looking Pastor Tom in his sig pic). It's not for me but at least if you do it and don't like it you can easily go back to stock.
