ORIGINAL: WS6 Formula
I edited in some front shots in above.
As far as handling......not what I expected....smoother ride, the side walls must be softer. It feels like a totally different bike, it has better low speed stability(1/2* more rake then the Low Riders triple clamp, total now is 31*), the bike feels lighter, very nimble, its so easy to take a turn or change lanes, very little effort, I guess because of the wider forks, it gives you an advantage like holding a bicycle tire and having someone spin it, and when you try and turn it your fighting that gyro, then doing the same but using a longer axle you get a better mechanical advantage.

RE: Before and after photos
jackyl,
Here's what I used: 21" wheel from a wide Glide, upper and lower triple clamps, axle, axle spacers, 3/4" spacers and 3/4" longer Allen head bolts for mounting the fender, and stainless washers for shimming (.040" for the caliper &.090" for the rotor) to center the caliper over the rotor. Use other existing hardware from your bike (axle nut, triple clamp pinch bolts, head bearings and nut, fender nuts, forks).
