Go with the 36"...you won't regret it!

I've got 33" on my bike...and sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have the 36"ers...go 36 and be done with it!

How often do you scrape? Where did you find 33"'s?

I scrape all over the place...but it's all good! It's like driving a old slammed Chevy bomb around town...is it gonna scrape, hell yeah!

If you are worried about scrapping, well, you have air ride, you should be able to avoid a lot of scraping with a flip of a switch right?...the way I see it, with air, sraping shouldn't be an issue.

My 33" fishtails are Samsons...no baffles with 1 3/4 pipe ID. I got them on sale direct from Samson...Part number S-233

The 36's for sure. They look the best and when you grind them down near nothing you can throw the 26's back on.

You already got the apes and the 21" so you might as well finish the look off with the 36".

If you are worried about scrapping, well, you have air ride, you should be able to avoide a lot of scraping with a flip of a switch right?...the way I see it, with air, sraping shouldn't be an issue.
