That's the quality dialogue and intelligence that I was hoping that this forum would bring. Way to contribute.

C'mon now you said "any input is appreciated" and then you get ticked because someone gave their input.
Had you stated "helpful input" I would have just shook my head and then said...........
I can guarantee you that if you put a huge ass wheel like that on a Big Dog you "Will" completely change the dynamics of the bikes handling.
They become wobbly and goofy feeling. I've had the unfortunate opportunity to work on a couple like that.
If all your interested in is having something that looks different from everyone elses then you will certainly accomplish that.
The art of putting a wheel like that on a bike is just math. Figure out the rake and trail,
here are some examples, to get the length of the tubes you need and bolt it together. Your going to have to get a different front fender and make custom fender mounts for it, if you stick with the stock BD stuff. If you go with a different front end then again its just figuring out the best rake and trail you can live with, because that is what you will have to do is live with it, and then go through the front ends available out there until you find the one you like with the proper tree rake and length you need. Of course you can always start getting in to frame modification etc but thats a whole new arena.
Like FrankBDPS stated definitely do dual front disc. I think BD should have done that even with the tire size they used but I digress.
Like you though I don't much give a shit what people think so my original comment still stands.....
