I wonder if I can find one to fit my lowers with a 16 inch wheel?

I've never liked the wheels on the crossbones for the simple fact that they are a 16" front and 17" rear. I think the combination looks odd. 16's front and back look good but I don't like a smaller diameter front wheel.

Not into that front tire. Looks like it belongs on a dirt bike.

Sweet ride! A front fender would make it even better.

Love it! I think it would look better if the bike was lowered. seems to be too much dead air between the tire and the steering head/tree area.

I think it needs to be lower all the way around.

Sick. I love it. Also agree just a brace, no fender if you can work it.
