I have the HHI 6*...it looks great and handles great. I did a lot of research and road a "demo" bike before I pulled the trigger. High speed runs, cornering and general comfort are top notch...I haven't sacrified a thing. That's contrary to what many who have never ridden a bike with a 23" would have you believe.
A little off topic but what if i racked (knowing it doesn't need it) my 09 SG that has a 21" (lowered 1") anyway? I'm thinking it would look bad-a** stretched and lower? But what about handling and such..?
I have the Pickard trees. 100% bolt on. Lights do not point to the sky. You can run any rear wheel up to 18". The have a wobble free guarantee and I have put it to the test many a time. No problems. Do it right the first time.

Are the mounting positions on the pickard trees changed to maintain the factory position of the batwing fairing? Surely the aftermarket trees are not changing the angle of the fairing as it changes the angle of the forks? By the way!!! I'm going to need one of you guys to call my wife and get her to let loose of the checkbook so I can get my 23" wheel project underway!!
I am not sure. Pickard website has them for $699 which I am jealous of. When I bought mine they were the only company that had bolt on trees. I paid $899.

Nothing at all is changed. You can go to their website www.pickardusa.com and look at them for yourself. I would budget 3k for the whole front end setup.
