I think if it were slammed in the front,with a different front fender and those longer bags that wrap over the pipe would tie it all in. I've seen a streetglide that was set up like how I described with a 23"er that looked pretty cool.

I broke away from the norm and went with billet wheels. They do have a more traditional spoke look to them. I think the fender would need some modifications in order for the 23" to fit properly, as the 21" doesn't leave much room as it is... As far as the overall look of that ride... different strokes, for different folks.

Here's a pic that I too of a 23" on a Road King. They made spacers to raise the stock fender up approx 2". Sorry for the quality, but it was taken on my crackberry.

I've seen a 23 on a Softail. It just looks too big.

23" or stay with the 21"

This is my 10' Deluxe and I have been debating a 23" front once I do the try dual fishtails, air ride and 120r but I just can't seem to find a 23" on a deluxe to see how big it really looks.. I was also thinking about bagging it out, but everyone tells me I'm going to kill the look what's your thoughts guys????
Ok for some reason I cannot upload a photo from my phone it's telling me it's the wrong format sorry I can't provide a picture guys.
