I came across a post the other day in which the author mentioned putting a "native" kit on the front. Having no idea what that meant, I did a quick google search and found a website that offers a 180mm wide front wheel/tire kit. Since then, I've noticed several others who have a similar setup. For those of you who do, how does it change the ride of the bike? Or is it a "looks" thing? I do like the look of it, just wondering how different it is. Thanks in advance.

 

I don't have experience with it to offer, but I think they look great. Hella expensive, so not going to happen on my bike any time soon.

I would imagine that with a wider front it would take slightly more effort to tip it over for a turn, but that's just speculation on my part.

 

I have the Native 180 kit on my bike. The forks on most of the kits remain the same width, so really it’s just about accommodating a wider wheel/tire. I’ve had mine on for about 3 years. I honestly see no difference in handling from stock. I think the ride is better bc of the added tire. I love the look! Just beefy, ya know? One of the best things I’ve added to the bike, IMHO.
