Dont know about the 23 but a chrome front brake caliper would look good with the new wheels. If your going to drop that much coin on some wheels might as well finish it off.

Rims, some PM chrome calipers and air ride. that will make it look real nice. I have not seen a fatboy with a 23" on the front yet. You should be the first.

I like what you got goin on this far, have you thought about a heritage/deluxe front fender. I think it'll really set your ride off with that cali ape/dual fishtail exhaust you got going. A 23" front would look killer, but like i said check into a new front fender to top it off.

I put fat spokes on my Fatboy. Went with an 18" up front. Wish I did a 21". I think 23" is too much. Its like the fat tire trend a while back, everybody went bigger and bigger and now those bikes look silly (IMO).

I didn't see an option for pink frillie handgrip tassels. But I do think that air ride & some badass rims would be the Cats Pajama's!
