All you have to do is get some fender spacers. With that said you will prob. Want to lower it a bit to make it look right. I have not found any raked trees out there that just bolt on all require cutting and a lot of skilled work, but if you know of some please let me know.

 

Iread on this forum the FLHXX have raked trees. Hope it help and want to see this wheel mounted

 

Arlen ness does sell a 100% bolt on raked trees kit 3k

 

if you use the 120/70 21 tire on a 21" rim it will fit by drilling the rear fender mounting hole to 3/8' and tilting it as you tighten it.

The new Metzeler 140/70 21 has a larger diameter of 29.09 it is 2" taller and requires bracket adapters for stock fenders Several are in the J&P catalog.

However if you have the CVO slammed fender you have to have brackets fabricated or use a 23" fender.

For the 23" the only option seems to be to buy a fender and paint it.
You will need to extend the jiffy stand as the bike will lean over more and be heavier to pull up. I haven't found a vendor yet who supplies one and all the catalogs do not specify a length? Idiots selling them all put "stock Length" instead of actual length which is useless information.

Triple tree clearance become a concern if you try to lower the front end.

You do not need to rake the front and it looks and handles perfectly fine. I went the the 140/70 21 as it is 1 inch wider and not low profile so it actually improved the ride and handling!

 

Wheels did you have to lower your front end with that tire?

 

No I did not and it handles perfectly. does raise the bike almost 2" in front

However it does lay over farther on the stand. So I will be extending the kickstand about 2", For now just takes a little extra effort to stand her up.

 

Just a thought ...If you travel any distance on that bike and have a tire related problem on the road...Don't expect anyone to have a 23" tire in stock...I do like the custom look but the inconvenience sucks.

 

I was at daytona biketoberfest and a vendor there had a 23" front wheel, stock fender with spacers, upper and lower trees. ( trees were 900.00) www.hillcountrycustomcycles.com. Hope this helps

 

In stock at Drag Specialties any dealer can have them overnight.

 

With all due respect to your opinion...Don't bet on it...Overnight deliveries have their limitations such as having to be ordered before noon...And I have found ...Just because it is in the catalog doesn't mean it is in stock...
