Default Bolt on Neck or raked trees for 23" wheel

I am putting a 23" front wheel on my 2014 Ultra Limited. I was planning on doing the American Suspension Bolt-on Neck Kit. But I was wondering if since its just a 23" could I get away with simply doing raked trees? Any thoughts.. Thx in advance

Not a whole lot of fans of that look on this site but to answer your question, I am using HHI trees with 7degrees rake and nothing else. It will give your bike a little different stance which you can lower with something like a progressive kit if you want. I did not lower.

I'm running the same set up. Bike rides flawlessly. Highly recommend. I also did not lower the front.

Get your HHI trees from me. As Bolt on is what I sell for 26" or bigger wheels.

American Suspension bolt on kits will work on your bike. Retail $1449 call or PM for my price. I have wheels, fenders, and most everything else that you need in stock as well.
