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

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.

Quality of the ride is fine.

It does raise the seat level a little, for height challenged people this might be a concern.
