Yeah Dave, I think it's just the way the pic is taken at an angle there.

Ya know, the more I look at these new Americas, the more I like the look of that fatter front wheel/tire set up. I think it better balances the look of the bike from front to rear now.

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)
