Default 21" or bigger front wheel Dyna Super Glide Custom

Hey
I'm thinking about putting a 21" or larger front wheel on my Dyna Super Glide Custom. Has anyone done this? I would like to go larger than 21" if possible. Maybe 26" ..... Can you'll post some pics if you have done this.

thank you

I bought mine with a 21" wheel on the front. Not sure what the advantage is.

Fairly sure looks is really the only benefit to a certain extent.

You can fit a 23 on it for sure, I've seen it. Anything bigger will likely hit the lower tree. Ive got a pic of a wide glide with a 23 I'll post the evening. The bagger guys who run huge wheels modify the frames and rake the front out to be able to fit those wheels.
