I ran a 23 with HHI trees. Not a problem and rode great. Only thing is once the big wheel bug catches you you'll regret not going 26 which I ended up doing a few months later, with an AS bolt on.
To be honest the 26 rides better
23
26
F9r either, did you do a bolt.on for both or did you cut the neck?

He said 23" was HHI trees (same as I did) and the 26" he said he did the AS bolt on kit, so no cutting required. If I went 26" I would do a short neck kit and cut the frame. I think it looks cleaner with a short neck kit.

Cutting def look better but don't have the heart on my 1 yr old 14 special... The bolt on rides amazing though
Heard the bolt on lose cleared ce on the front end and you have to cut it and do it that way. I frequent the Chopper Baggers site and lots of those guys say cut.
this is the bike that started my interest in the 23". you said in this picture it had stock trees right?
Yes, stock trees in this picture. Had it over 100 and put a few hundred miles on it like this before putting the HHI trees on. Running progressive monotubes lowered 1" and 944's for rear shocks. The weight and responsiveness with stock trees at low speed was insane and very light but I did notice it was not as forgiving at higher speeds meaning, I felt every ripple and uneven surface. With the HHI I noticed it was still responsive at slower speeds but closer to stock at 80+ in how I feel the road. I have been out this past week, so I am hoping to put more time in the seat this coming week to get a better feel for the HHI trees at highway speeds.
