Default 23"s Post up

I am thinking of putting a 23" front rim on my deuce and haven't been able to find too many pictures out there with one on a Harley. It's hard for me to visualize if it is going to be too big on the softtail frame. I love the look just not sure if it will be too much. Thanks

Big Dog Choppers makes a model with a 23" on the front....I wanted to put one on my FXST, but ran across a steal on my Reaper, so went that route instead. I think that would look MEAN on a softail.

There is a guy that just posted his 23'' somewhere on here. looked good. pricey though!!! i like it. It's just that it looks a little ackward without a 18'' or bigger rear. I think it would look good on a rocker.

This dyna was in a issue of hot bike. I think it has a 23" wheel on the front and a 20" wheel on the back. I think it looks good.

I am paying a good dime for my rims and it wont be too much for a 23'. I am putting a 18" on the rear and was thinking about a 23"x3.5"on the front I tentativeky order a 21" I was looking at a Ness and my indy shop sells them and all have a 23" front but they are choppers so it works. I would hate to drop the additional nut and not be thrilled with the bigger rim
