I want to do my wheels bad.... but I just can't stomach paying for the rear wheel when you only see 2" of it.... grrrrrrrr. I'd rather spend that $$ on stretched bags and a fender.

How many folks only do fronts?

Also.. wonder what the hit is with single front rotor vs dual. The single really cleans up the front profile.

Ya will see the rear, even with extended bags, and end up doing it sooner or later. Need bigger rotor and caliper plus shaved leg but ya can make some back selling stock stuff. Not sure how abs would work??? Here is my old RG with 21 plus 13" rotors and stock rear with extended bags;

My wheels JUST shipped, should be here in a week..... I feel ya on the rear wheel dilemma, but I saved and saved...... Figured getting them both would be the best idea, others may not see it, but I'll ALWAYS know it's there...... Even bought the matching chrome cush drive pulley, figure what the hell! I did go with a dual front rotor set up, going single would mean more mods like tab-less fork lower, didn't feel like having to deal with that.

X2 on seeing the rear, I have 4" extended bags and you can see lots of the wheel.
