    Copying a Harley front wheel conversion doesn't make sense to me.
    If you want the Harley look,buy a flippin Harley!

    big wheel is for looks only. We all know that the top sport bikes have smaller wheels. It makes them handles better. Sturgis was full of Big Twins with these oversize wheels last year. Yes, they are eye catching, but definitely will adversely affect the handling of the F6. But, then, each to his own.

    There was a bike yesterday with an over 30" front wheel. I call them clown wheels.

    If front wheel in GW is not shockingly appealing , there are many other choices , not necessarily requiring changes of OEM tire .

    Looks like it could be a new Valkyrie wheel and fender.
    Just went and looked at a 15 Valkryie. Valk fender, custom rim.

    As good as that big front wheel looks I wouldn't give up one ounce of my handling. This is absolutely , hands down , without a doubt the best handling big bike I've ever thrown a leg over.

    Ditto; looks cool but no way would I do it and screw up the perfect dynamics on this bike.

    A wise man once said the best you know is the best you've ridden, have Traxxion do the suspenion on your B, that WILL be the best handling bike you've ever ridden hands down. I did it to my Wing and its AMAZING! My wing will out handle any stock F6B and I'm pretty sure close to my Valkyrie with the Traxxion. With an extra inch of ground clearance and smoothest ride with adjustablity. Not to mention the quick side to side transitions are amazing, that plus super linear steering. It's awesome. I did the full monty so AK20 cartridge forks, fork brace, aluminium triple trees, all balls, penske shock, stainless line, it's awesome.

    Food for thought....
