23" wheel, increased bile height????

I have 15 rgs. Stock comes with a 19 inch wheel. I would love to add a 23 ibch wheel. Given I have to take the front end, will the overall height of the bike be changed? My challenge is my height. I have already done the seat mod, and progressive lowering shocks on the front. Even squeeze a qtr inch with ohlins on the rear. I am not adding a lowering kit.

So, will the 23 take me from flat footed to not flat footed? Thanks

Just for the record, you don't have to rake the front end to fit a 23" wheel. I also don't think your gonna notice that much difference from the way you sit now.

I have a 23 with HHI triple trees. With the additional rake, I do not notice a difference in the height of the bike, especially from a seating standpoint. I do have air ride though, so that's a variable to take into account. Good luck.
