That's funny. I have done the reverse. I bought a Puig screen that stays on (too hard to take on and off) and Unit Garage bags that I put on for longer rides. The 16' wheels do look good. Have you compared yours to a Pure ie; handling.

Yes I did. I test rode a Bagger, a Classic, and a Pure. I felt the 16" gave me the best feeling. I initially wanted a Bagger. I ended up with a Classic. I really like the extra height from the solo seat. I wish it was even a little taller - may be another inch? What I like is that I can turn the bike into a touring bike very quickly. I also have the Wunderlich seats (rider and passenger) for the bike.

Questions.
Does the Wunderlich rider seat get you a bit further to the front?
Is it noticeably more comfortable for longer rides?

It's about 1 inch taller than stock. I wouldn't say it gets you closer to the tank/ handlebar. If I was going to tour, it would be my first choice.
