Spoke wheels?
Has anyone done or seen done a 23" spoke in front and 18" in rear on a Dyna. I have seen a couple of Softail Deluxes with a 23" up front and really liked the looks of it and have been throwing around the idea as my next costly mod.
not sure that would be all that hard, just outter rim and spokes... done... i think it would look huge to be honest and out of place but i have been wrong before, do you have enough clearance there to run a 23 with fork travel?

I was kind of thinking it would look out of place that is why it would be nice if someone had already did it and had a pic or find someone that could photoshop a 23" and 18" set of fat spokes onto my bike. There is plenty of room for it.

Baas Metal Craft sells a bad *** 23" spool wheel. http://www.baasmetalcraft.com/FORMgallery7.htm I'm sure you could probably find a 23" rim to lace to your hub somewhere though, pricey! Tires are the only problem, not many of them out there. I think Avon makes something in a 23".

I haven't seen anyone run a 23" up front. I have seen 21" fat daddy spoke fronts on deluxes and they do look bada$$! I don't know about a 23" on a dyna though, might make it interesting on how it would handle! And I also would question the strength. my.02
not sure if there is "plenty of room" granted mine is dropped 1 inch in front. but with the 19 and the 1.5 in fog lights i have under my trees i have hit...
just saying... not sure a 23 would fit man

I just looked at some pics over on the softail side and I guess that tall wheel does look a little out of place on some bikes.

Here's this months Hot Bike. 23" front and back. I think it looks sweet. But he has the same size wheels front and back.
