The biggest thing so far doing a fat tire is we milled about .250 off the inner of each lower leg. Cut a fender down the middle and put a strip in it. But all that is available thru native.
Bike is not mine and has not been finished yet.
This is nothing new as native has been doing it for a while now. Just some have just discovered it

I just don't like that Yaffe or that fool Billy Lane that was driving drink with a revoked licence and killed that motorcycle rider. JMO I could be wrong.

I have to say I'm kinda impressed with the look of the 180 up front. I also like the 21-23" tires up front but like stated above 23" is the absolute biggest wheel I'd ever run.


The biggest factor for me with any wheel upgrade is how the bike is going to ride. Until I see some extensive reviews I'll just stay with my stock 19.

darn--Billy Lane did what he did. He also spent his time in prison teaching inmates welding, working sheet metal and other skills to help them be employable when they got out.

He lost his business, home and fortune. The victims family was satisfied with the settlement they got and forgave Mr Lane.

Can you find forgiveness in your heart?

I think the best bike for this upgrade is the RG.. It just looks mean with the fat tire up front.

He deserves everything he has gotten with the exception of his initial fame for bike building. I can forgive and I'm sure he has paid is debt to society but that doesn't change anything. He doesn't need my forgiveness he needs God's.

I don't know him personally but I don't like his style of bike or the attitude he has portrayed on biker build off and any other show he has been on. He is a Hack. Maybe I'm judging a book by its cover but i can if i want to. This is america and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I don't like Yaffie or Lane and wouldn't buy anything from either of them nor would I walk across the street to **** on them if they were on fire. Just my opinion.

No disrespect to you or your thoughts and words.

Not much of a fan for the fuglys. But the Native 180 front bike looks pretty good. In my opinion.

Doesn't make it any better but if I remember the guy he hit was also drunk and not his first brush with DUI. Don't know the guy but sometimes TV doesn't portray the real people. Most of its BULL S
