I ran a 23" hogpro lemans on my 08 fatboy when I sold it. It came with the 17", I changed over to a 19" lemans, then upgraded that to the 23. Now I have a 21" Ride Wright on my Deluxe so I can pretty much give ya the scoop on the rides lol. I ran the 23 on my Fat boy with no front fender and the *** end slammed. It rode suprisingly good. I really cant tell much of a difference between the 21 and 23. They were VERY stable at speeds. The 19 (not that your considering that) turned a little better, but by no means was the 23 hard to ride and still turned very well in the twisties. Ill dig a pic up.

If I had the cash, I would consider the 23. If you're worried about getting tires, you might buy an extra to have in your garage or something. One thing to consider is that your front end will gain about an inch vertically from the larger diameter wheel/tire. You'd have to shorten the forks a little over an inch if you wanted to level it (you need to change the forks more than an inch to change the vertical height an inch).

Yeah brah. Its on. If you search 23" on a standard or something it should come up. Freaking love it. Running fenderless at the moment moneys a lil tight just dropped 2k on a washer/dryer for the ol mop squeezer that lives w me!!

i love my 23 up front..
i dont think you would regret it. i went for 21 at first and bought a complete set of fender from klockwerks but when i got it home.. i bought a 23 inch spoke wheel. i had the front fender extended 1 inch and even with 0,4 mm of space from the front tire to fender i never had problem with it expanding and makeing problems on the fender.
