23 inch front wheel on my streetglide
Does anyone know what all has to be modified to get a 23/18 setup on an 08 streetglide. I love the wheel but I ride alot and go on long trips so it has to perform and be comfortable or I'll put it on ebay and go with the 21". I am concerned with the clearance even after I change the fender. Anyone know?

Consider "why". \\; \\; If you actually ride it, and I mean really put some miles on it, you won't be happy. \\; Largest with any kind of comfort is about an 18". \\; Lots of 21" out there, but if you talk candidly with them, most say it's for looks, not for ride. \\; JMHO. \\; CCRyder

I very repectfully disagree with you I have had my 21 on for 12K + miles rides better than the 16s and 18s I have had.

Me too...Me Too wanna say the 21's ride great, but I have nothing to compare it to. \\; Rode my bike from the dealer with the 16 home and then the next time I rode it was back to the dealer to get the 21 put on. \\; But I have had no problems with the 21 and I havent lowered it yet, dont know if I will.
