Recently smashed up the front end of my 2012 street glide and if the insurance doesn't total it I'm wanting to replace the front wheel with a 21" or maybe a 23" wheel.

Thought I'd check to see who has done this and if they regretted the upgrade? I would also be upgrading the rear wheel size at the same time.

Fortunately I didn't get hurt in the accident but the front of the bike is pretty much gone....

thanks in advance

 

My cousin has a 23" on his street glide and think it looks really good. The down side is tire selection, you just don't have that many to choose from. I have a 21" and the tire selection is much better, just food for thought.

 

Not trying to be a total jerk but if you already crashed the bike why would you want to make it handle and steer worse?

 

I have had the factory 16", a 19" enforcer and now I have a 23" on it. Out of all of them the 23" rides and handles better. Just make sure you don't cut corners. You will need rakes triple trees I have rode mine both ways so trust me when I say to change the trees. I would also suggest progressive monotubes the ride is great.

 

Have a 12 CVO SG. Went with 23' wheel. No problem with handling. Can take both hands of bars at 80 mph and goes straight. I'm thinking of going with 26" front end.

 

I think handling and ride greatly improved over stock when I went with the 21/18 combo.

 

Going straight is not handling.

 

Trust me. I thought the same thing until I install raked trees. Day and night difference.

 

Well you removed all doubt in my mind....

 

Well, if it goes down the road at 80 straight,....... its handling the road
