You HDforum guys warm up to the Big Wheels Yet? They are reliable, rideable and good looking in my opinion.

Great looking bike. I like the Big Wheel look. Not sure how it would be on a long trip, or even one of our 250 mile day jaunts.
Unfortunately I can't afford to do something like that on my 2011 Road King yet. Maybe when I've had it for ten years......

Don't like 'em. Too "trendy".

As I've said before--anything but a 16" on an FL front end looks wrong. Don't even like a 17", which is why I bought a RKC instead of a RK.

These big wheel bagger people are gonna be loking at BIG BUX when they're no longer trendy & they go to switch back.
