I love it! Looks great, can't say anything about the quality of the ride. But from what I have heard they are not that easy to ride.
It would take alot of patron to make me cut the neck of my brand new street glide. I'll stick with a 21 in the front, still looks great.
But I am a huge supporter of the big wheels I love the look.

Barhopper Baggers seem to be the latest craze.

If I needed a barhopper, that'd do the trick. No doubt. Great looking scoot, just not functional for my wants/needs.

It's funny at Milwaukee rally last month there was about 10 26" bikes that rode up including myself. They def pull all the looks and the first question always asked "How does it Ride?" We'll besides hitting a pot hole when your not paying attention it rides awesome. Most of these guys aren't worried about handling because with stretched bags you have to be careful for scratching. That tour PAK is a cheap bracket and pack that's why.

I let all the air out of the shocks that's why it was such a bumpy ride. And the tour pack is just thin fiberglass I have to support it better so its more sturdy. And it rides great just have to watch out for pot holes. 90mph no problem.

How big is the wheel on the one at :06??? That is stupid for anything more than a non-riding show bike IMO.

Can't say I really like the big wheel craze either. Ranks up their with super stretch choppers. It is a fad and like all fads it will fade.

So what your saying is you have ridin one? I'll cruise right next to you as long as you want to ride on any trip. Pack my bags and strap a sleeping bag on, the only problem is your stereo will be drowned out by mine and I'll be getting all the looks.

In Life some people chose to Blend in, while others chose to stand out.

Yeh, self confidence problems are usually masked by big, loud, blingy things that "stand out". Hey...been there, done that. Not throwing stones.

Sounds like you're the only one who feels he has something to prove around here.

Age and wisdom bring more quiet confidence, so we don't need "big, loud, blingy, stand out".

That's like saying if we could afford a Lamborghini you wound not buy it because it's too blingy and stands out.
