Default 23" yes its been asked

Yes someone asked this but no one said yes I have. Has anyone put a 23" tire on front? Seen pictures but I would like to know how it rides, most of all turning. And yes just like before it was stated you most likely had to run stock ride height.

It's been done plenty of times. Tire selection is pretty slim though. Flat track or dirt bike hoop with buchanan spokes laced to your stock hub. IMHO doesn't look good enough to justify the effort. If thats the look you like a 1.75 or 2.0 narrow hub 21in wheel is just as good looking. The ride difference is hardly noticeable and a lowered front end could run into clearance issues at full compression.

John Shope at Sinister could probably answer that for you. I know he deals mostly with baggers but he runs all the way up to a 30 inch wheel. http://www.ssinisterchoppers.com/
