Does it bog down easier? - no more than the 6 inch pads do wither rbe 5 inch backing plate
Does it fit?- the backing plates have the same fit and work fine
Does the machine of off balance?- not really, which was surprising. I did feel a bit more vibration but it`s still comfortable to use
Would I recommend it- yes, if you want to use bigger pads sometimes
Remember that rupes doesn`t say to do this, I am just letting everyone know it does work. The same as others have said about the 21mm and the 5 inch backing plate.
