Does anyone have pics of a 21" front wheel with the lowering kit installed?

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Cool. Now..you have to get used to riding without a windscreen(obviously not your style)and goggles. Then you got it made. Watch out for the bumble bees when they smack. They sting..but only for a few minutes.

Wow Rob! That completely blacked out front end looks GREAT, along of course with that 21 incher up there too!!!  Now, how about blackin' out those rear shocks too so that all your eye is drawn to when you're lookin' at your bike in profile is the flow of where the induction air goes through the combustion cycle(in the intake, through the cylinder head and out the mufflers) and so completing this overall look? (...just a thought)

Oh heck yeah. I have an America hub coming soon. I am sold it looks great. I don't think I'm gonna lower it though. Going to go for that 70's club member look. If that makes any sense.

Yea! THAT'S RIGHT! NO DAMN BRAKES! JUST THE HUB! 
(I mean, at LEAST there's a DISC on the rear! More than the "real men" had, back in the day)

Good move - It's amazing the things you don't take into account until you put it all back together.
Looks awesome, I can't wait to see it all done.
