I've only seen a 23" on a Road King.....they had to build brackets to move the stock fender up about 2" to clear. Took the owner about a week to slam a pothole and jack the fender up. But, I think the wheel was ok. Here's a pic. $1500 for wheel, and $300ish for tire.

Bike looks killer now. I would not make the change. I think a 23 would look goofy. It might look ok on a Road Glide with added rake but not on a Fatty.

If you are bored, why not change out the paint and get rid of the stock stickers. IMHO, Harley messed up with the Fatty graphics. The old graphics looked much better.
