Did you have to do any thing else to the bike to fit the 23?

Rob is right I have raked trees but 2DAKERB in the Night Train Picture Thread is running stock trees and a 23 I think but is front is lower then mine.

In order to run a 23 on a FL front I've heard you need a raked trees or some kind of rake??? But thats just hear say? So I'm not sure other riders have told me I would need atleast a 5* rake but that wasn't true...

My frontend is lowered about 4.25" I'm running... 2" under tubes, 2" drop in lowering progressive kit, and 3* raked pro-one trees. On the rear I'm running the Shotgun air ride from JD to level her off if needed.

The front tire is a Avon 130 and it handles way better then the 21" with the 90/90... Way tighter in the turns and way more stable in the higher speeds.

The front fender I'm still working on... I've had it for awhile but just lazy I guess... lol It's from a friend of mine John... PM me I'll shoot you over his number.

So a raked neck and lower front forks? That might be a little to much work then I want.
