120/70 and the rim is a 21x3"...wasn't sure if the 3.25 would be too wide or not.

I am running a 21"x3.25" on a wide glide hub with the 120/70. I think the 120 can even go on a 3.5".

I meant I wasn't sure if the 3.25" was too wide for my Mid front end. I played it safe which is why the 3".

I'd also bet it could fit the 3.5" wheel.

Dyna-Bagger, did you have to change the stock rake for the 23" tire to fit? I am being told by a rep that I would have to

Also you can get a 23" fender blank from Russ Wernimont for about $150 and cut your own fender out if it. That's my plan.

did you have to modify the front end to fit the 23" wheel?

I went to Fat Bob trees because I love the wider front end, plus when you throw a Fat Boy headlight on it looks perfect. Also put in the Progressive Drop In kit. Lowered in 1" with the kit and drop the trees down on the tubes 1/2". So got a total of 1.5" lowered up front and Progressive 11" 430 shocks.
