I have noticed several posts lately about people making the change to a 26" front wheel. Looks as if we are going to have a few new members to this the club. I know there is a handful of us on this site that has done this. It will be nice to have a thread dedicated to this new trend. Members will be able to see the bikes and ask questions or PM a member about their setup.
Here goes nothing...................................
Looks awesome. One thing you might consider, paint the bag bars black.
Tell us more about you bike. Did you have it done by Yaffe? Hell post some more pics too.

Those are on the powder coat list for phase 2 of my build.
Camtech Custom Baggers built my bike, Cameron Jurow is a good friend of mine and has a talented eye when it comes to custom bikes. Check out the site. www.camtechcustom.com he won Bagger nation's bagger of the year last year among countless other shows.
DAMN!! That is the direction Im going to go when I get a RG. Been looking around, but still gonna wait til its dead of winter to get one. Still trying to figure out if I want to go with a 23 or 26. Always been told "Go BIG or go home". So, we'll see what happens next
spring-summer.
I just can't bring myself to like the huge front wheel (anything over 21). To me, they are just like the chopper craze......it won't last long. That being said, that first bike was awesome so I guess I like them, just wouldn't ever do it myself
The 26's look sick! I am glad I haven't bought a 21 as far as the the 26 being a "craze......it won't last long" people said the same thing about 21's and they were right it lasted about 4 years and then the 26's came out!

21's don't need any major modification. People will get sick of spending all the money for the 26" switch when they become more common. You don't see one everyday now, so for people that can afford it, they have a standout bike. Once everyone has them.....I think they will fade away. Maybe you're right, maybe they will be replaced with 30". Not trying to ruin the thread, that bike is awesome.
