21" front, lowered 2", air ride in the rear all the way down. Rides awesome. Actually turns better than stock with the forks lowered. Rude two up all the time and wife lives the ride compared to stick and much less fork dive when stopping.
Very, very nice. How about a few more pics?

I bet your wife would notice the extra inch - lol
I'm very happy with the look and ride of the 21" I put on mine, just need to put a good fender on it to show it off....I left it at stock height with 13" rear shock for better curve clearance

Looks real good man. I'd like to drop the front 2" as well to compensate for the added height of the 23" wheel. I know the rake will lower it a bit, but not sure how much. I plan to use a shotgun shock in the rear to lower it and get the stance I'm after.
How hard are you in the turns? Ever scrape with that 2" drop? Or bottom out the front and hit the fender? I plan on ditching the crash bar at that point for clearance and to clean it up a bit.

I have only ever drug the bags when 2 up and trying to do it. I used to ride crotch rockets and traced mx do i knew how to turn. Have never touched the front fender even strapped down hard to a trailer where I couldn't put my hand between the fender and the lower tree...
