Although most comments have been positive, I dont see why anyone would post something negative about what someone does to their bike...lol.. again, i like it, I would change a little, but it sounds like you are going to (rake it, lower it, etc.)... 23" front wheel isnt far fetched, I am still pretty young and I remember when 17 and 18" wheels were huge for cars, now...sheesh... 30 is the new 20...

i am sure a few years down the line, a 23 will replace the 21 and us with 21s will be considered old school, thus i ordered my set of 23s to, to put on after i repaint my bike...lol, i want someone to come up with a front fork air ride, like the rear one, so i can lay it on the frame, then this bike will be my local cruiser, ill build my other bike for the times, i want to "go"...

way to go GTS, the thruth is that 80% of the people don't even know what they like.... they ask what looks good?, which seat you guys like best? etc, etc and so on and don't have the stones to do their own chit.

I am sure there are a few that said 21' would look stupid 2 years ago, and now they love it

If you like stock then enjoy your 16" setup, maybe add some custom paint. But we all look to make our bikes look different than everyone elses. What the hell, do what you want to your bike and enjoy the ride and so will I.

For sure john rock that 23" ...when I had my mustang I was one of the first guys in the bay to d0 20's and people ran there mouths...when it hit the magazine than everyone was running there mouths how sick it was.. Don't matter what people think if the owner likes it than thats cool and its what gives everybodys ride character good or bad I honestly love the negative feedback it gives me more incentive to make my projects even sicker!!! Good job on the 23! One of the only few in the bay I have to seen.. We gotta meet up soon maybe like wed. I might sell the bike this week. (keep fingers crossed). ill keep in touch and let you know.. Unless you want to meet for a quick minute at the starbucks tomarrow like 4:30 pm ..there is a starbucks down on saratoga/sunnyvale a little past the high school.. lmk pm me or what ever ill check my mail and post here tomarrow..
