Tom here. That looks great. Quick question, does the new front wheel feel heavier than the old one? Congrats.
Regards,

I wouldn't say it feels heavier, but when doing slow turns like in a parking lot or pulling in and out of an entrance it does feel a little more tippy. A more feeling of the wheel wanting to turn on it's own. Nothing to be concerned about, but there is a feeling there.
I would think a lowering kit on the front would put the rack and trail angles back closer to stock.
Other than that, no difference going down the road.
