There are quite a few on this site with 26" fronts. General consensus is if done properly it rides great...

I have and if set up properly it will handle as good as or better than stock.

Exactly! Everyone that takes my bike for a spin can't believe how nice it rides. The front feels so much lighter compared to a stock bike

I wouldn't be afraid to put one on.......just spending the money!

Can you give us an idea how to set it up properly? Stretch and rake? Thanks

Generally the the frame gets raked 9 degrees along with 2in out and 2in up in the neck. Then you add 9 degree triple trees. That is what you get in the hhi kit.
