21" vs 23" front wheel - help!
Okay, so I have the new Low Rider slider and brake caliper to go dual disc on my Wide Glide. Also have a Street Bob front wheel, and with correct rim, spokes, spacers and such, I can lace up either a 21" or 23" front wheel. (Don't like the "skinny" stock tire, so going wider, too.)
I like the look of the Fat Bob front fender, but it might look like a camel hump on a 23" wheel.
Does anyone know where I can get a Fat Bob / Wide Glide style fender for a 23" wheel? Most everything I've found so far is bagger / wrap-around style or drilled for a touring bike. Any photos of your 23" front end?
Thanks!

DoomGloom - Thanks for the info. It was starting to look like I would have to make some kind of adapter. The bigger problem is finding the right fender.
Attached is a drawing of the different tire sizes:
Fat Bob 130/90/16
Street Bob 100/90/19
Wide Glide 80/90-21
Oversize 120/70-23
The Fat Bob fender might look a little "humped" on a 23" tire.
I did find a "cut your own" fiberglass fender from Oldy's for about $100. Are there any others out there? Any steel fenders?

Well, as long as the right hand fork is 49mm, I should be good...
