Default Look at this Deuce

I really like the front end of this deuce and its what I'm striving for on mine. Does anyone know if that's a 21" or 23" wheel? Its obviously got a lowering kit in the front, but what else has he done to make it look so good?!

Thanks!

it may be just the angle makes the front wheel look bigger! probably a 21"
several things make it look good! nice billet wheels and big radius first of will make anything look better, it has a wimmer air intake! not so keen on those myself, a nice improvement is the aftermarket HD headlight
it has tidy clean paint, fork brace , and some nice street slammer bars! dont no if it is so low? i think mine may be lower in rear!! all in all, a nice deuce!!
here is mine!

I agree with kiwideuce about it being a 21".
Looking at his bike's fender in relationship to the top of the fork lowers, it looks like the same size.

hard to tell from that angle but it might be raked seems the front is out farther than stock, but again the angle is tough

its a 21 and has 6* of rake in the trees, with 3" over tubes and lowered 2" rides and handles fantastic. If you go to my garage it has better pics to get a closer view of what the rake looks like
