Default FXST 16" front wheel

Has anyone put a 16x3 front wheel ( spoked)on a standard? If you have, what does it handle like and what does it look like?

Any pics would be appreciated

Here is a thread that talks about that. This guy did a 17" spoke but there is a link in the thread to a detailed install of a guy that did a 16" mag. I did a customized 16" Fatboy wheel on the front of mine.

The SEARCH feature is your friend!

There have been many threads about this, on all sorts of Softails. In a nutshell, Just Do It! [8D]

What about hard cornering with this setup? I trend to push it hard through corners and lean a alot, I am scrapping pipes/pegs now with the stock ride height on my 2002 FXST. Will this get worse? Do you have to lower the rear to regain handling? I am almost always 2 up, and do go on lenghty trips with the wife and T-Bags fully loaded.

Thanks
