I seen my first bike in person with a 26" wheel, all I can say is......... holy **** it looked great! the bike didn't have a ton of custom parts (no stretched bags or anything like that) but with it raked and the 26 the bike looked show ready without a doubt a 26 is in my future!!
All of my friends and myself run big wheels. If you rake and stretch the bike correctley it will ride almost better than stock. Don't take short cuts with your neck ever.
When done correctly you will be amazed how nice it rides. Everyone that took my bike for a ride can't believe how nice it rides. They have all said its the most comfortable bike they have rode.
If you can find one to ride or even sit on, you wont believe how nice the riding position is.
Finished welding my neck up yesterday. 9-degrees frame, 9-degrees trees. Sitting on the lift it looks pretty radical. Going to mock up front end next weekend and fabricate my fairing mount. It's such a long, long wait until spring!
