Default 23" front wheel question

Can I run a 23" front wheel and wrap around fender on my 95 electra glide with no major modifications?

If you must, try asking at the touring forum. They love that **** over there.

I suspect not. General view is that even 21" needs shorter forks, to restore ride height, although some owners don't. As front wheel diameter goes up something else has to give! As BV suggests, call into Touring and take a look around.

My understanding is 21" is the largest, 23" require new trees, some places sell a 23" kit that has wheel, fender, tree, etc. 21" is best with a 2" lowering kit for the front. I hope this helps.

I wanted to do a 21 but someone wants to trade a 23" wheel with tire rotors and fender for a dirt bike that I have on craigslist

I'd save the dirt bike and keep waiting on the 21".
