My….isn’t that ridiculous. 30″ out front should have at least 40″ wide out back right?
Please stop the insanity.
….. this is ridiculous… I stopped riding big wheels when i was 4…
sad
Don’t care for the wheel, but the fork/monobloc calipers are pretty sweet.
how big can they go ? I guess we’ll see …………………………….Q up the circus music !
Facepalm…
If you overlook the gigantic wheel up front, it doesn’t look too bad. I like the bags and the paint job at least
Horrific. Simply horrific.
Big wheels keep on turnin….
…….errr well nevermind about that.
Guess I’m not the only one who thinks this looks stupid….lot’s of money and time spent to create…. what?
Stunning I mean Stupid!
Thats no cheap build. As long as fools want the big wheel bike the builders will build them. Front wheel is a little small, needs a 36.
Worse than hardtail choppers, they cannot sell those things for anything close to what they got in them.
Ego I suppose, oh well to each his own
Just bling and vulgar; not worth more words than that…
Why ! What about riding ? I will bet he is not riding that 600 miles a day !
Oh no! I’ve got that vomit taste in my throat again…………………
Maybe that too will pass
Like most of these 30″ stretched out fender and bag creations, kiss the back of that rear fender goodbye after about the first speed bump.
Can’t wait for this fad to pass as well as skull neck tattoos…..both lame
Nice looking ride. Those of us who actually build and ride these custom baggers know that they ride very well, when properly built. A lot better than a stock bike, in many cases.
I ride about 10,000 miles a year on a 26″ Road Glide. I like the 30s and 32s, but they’re cost prohibitive for us blue collar types. The rear sheet metal isn’t in danger as long as you air up the suspension before riding. When the haters start paying for my builds, they can start telling me how to build it. Until then, I’ll build and ride what suits me. I heard the same things back in the 70s, when we were building and riding long chops. lol
25 years ago, 18 and 20 inch wheels on passenger cars were almost unheard of, and the self-proclaimed “old school” hot rodders turned up their nose at the fad. Only it wasn’t a fad, it was a paradigm shift. Today, your wife’s SUV is probably rolling on 22s, and nobody even notices. The same thing is happening in the motorcycle world, it just took a little while to catch up.
Mike, you are right and I agree. Rule 1 is build what suits you.
I think paradigm shift is not what we have here. Back in the ’70’s that term was thrown around about longnecks too. Where are they now? Picked clean for parts for board trackers and cafes, bobbers and street fighters.
Fads come and go. That 30″ rim is going to make somebody a fine mailbox post in a few years.
going to be alot of motors and trans for the taking with this trend goes pear shaped.
Personal opinion… I just don’t get the old English high-wheel bicycle look!
people might like the looks , but u have absolutely no front suspension travel .
Screw it ! Let’s Ride !
You ride yours and I’ll ride mine !
