lovin your bike by the way!

 

and who, pray tell, is "everyone"?

I'll assume that "everyone" that is telling you that has not owned/ridden a bike with a 23" front wheel.

 

We stiffened up and lowered the front forks, used some fork stops to limit travel in teh front forks and put on a 23" fender. Unless you do a raked tree (we like Pickard) the 21" will ride better. This is due to the nature of the fact that a 23" wheel is so much bigger than the 21".

 

thanks hogpro. what size are u runnin up front texas sg? like the looks of your bike

 

It looks like Texas has a 21" on in the sig pic.

 

21" but I've also got the fender a little lower than most so it makes the wheel look a little bigger.

 

I live in New England and the crack sealant "black lines on the high way" the front end used to follow those. It was a little sketchy I went to a 19" (fatter tire) and it was all good. Also if you stretch the front end it works better too but I am too cheap for that.

 

23 from the front and back

 

I was thinking about going with the 23 but decide against. Is it true that you have to ride with your underpants sticking out the top of your jeans?

 

Get this same crap with apes to... there's always some know-it-all that genuinely believes he knows what you like better than you do. 21 inch wheels on harleys are far from anything new, neither are apes. Guys been riding thousands of miles happily with both for dozens of years. I cannot for the life of me figure out why these morons care about what someone else does to their bike, and even more i can't figure out why they think i'm going to care even a little bit about what they think about what i do to my bike.
