Default 23" on a FXST ?

Anyone running one ? I've seen a heap of pics of other bikes with 23" up front. I have an Aussie 2012 model standard I'm planning on running a 23 with hopefully a wrapper style fender.. Or maybe the Ness Cafe front fender as its a bolt on. Will be billet wheels not spokes.
Show us what you have, or any ideas.

Can't help you there.
I went the opposite direction and put a 16 inch on my old 99 FXSTC.


Never did care for the "skinny tire" look myself.
Like the "beefy" look, FWIW.

Head over to the night train pic thread, Story & 2DAKERB both run them and have different styles. Both bikes are kick ***.
