Nope... Radius of curvature would be different... I've seen baggers run a 23 with a HD FL front fender but to me it looks overly stuffed and out of place.

PW... G's right we have atleast 4" drop just on the frontends and I kinda woanted to come up a little cause I was scraping every speedbump I went over. And the 23" worked perfect for me. About that no fender thing it's all good till you're riding in the rain... lol No matter where I move I was getting blast right in the face...

Look at Fame's bike his looks killer with the 21/18 combo

BTW if you do it go with atleast a 120 tire up front, just my 2 cents?

http://www.ridewrightwheels.com/ sizes on here PW.I like the thin look of the 18 rear if it;s stuffed all the way up in the fender.
Fender is gonna look good Mark.It's amazing how much chit finds your face when you run without the fender,even without the rain.

I really like the look of the 200 rear tire. How much narrower will the 18" wheel look compared to the stock size? Does anyone have any pics from the rear?

What size will look better with the stock rear fender? 18x5.5 or 17x6.25. I like the look of the 200 tire but also like the look of the 18" wheel from the side profile.

I might be wrong PW but finding a 17" wheel is next to impossible.18 will look good.Go for it.

I thought that 17x6.25 is a common wheels because that is the stock size on my Train. I might be wrong though. Can someone chime in & let me know please!
