Not to bad, except it was legs from an early 90's fl, trees from god.knows what, nacell from drag. The actual swap was a breeze. Welded on fork stops was all I had to do.

Hey Lund, I got the same problem, kinda. Can't make up my mind either. What I been thinking is the tires. For a 21 you got a bunch to choose from and for a 23 you got only Avon's 130 and Vee Rubber's 120 and I like Metz tires.
But I say if you can get a 23 in there, Do it!

Haha nothing is far on the island by mainland standards.
What makes it hard on the Rocker is the F-ing narrow glide frontend.

Go with the 23". IMO the 23 looks so much bigger in person than it does in a pic. That FL front end looks badass bro
