Default 23" & 16" wheel combo?

Would this be a good one or at least go with an 18 in the rear? I know some of you may think a 23" is to much but I dig it! Would fit my dyna bagger look better

you have a 120/21 right? you can swap to a 140/21 metzler it really gives it a huge look up front, used one on a bike i built last year

I have a chance to get just the 23" rim for $110. Then lace it to my wide glide hub. I'll still be able to have a 130

It's actually a 23x3. Avon and metzeler have a 130 tire for it

Time to start the search for another front fender, at least there are a lot of companies making one for a 23" Softail setup and you'll still be able to get one with the traditional fender style. This should be interesting to see, didn't some guy in Spain on here do a 23" with air ride and shark nose?

Yeah that guy did. I still want to use the fairing I have but that will be a project on its own to get to fit on my bike. Especially considering it's for a 1970's Homda
