23 inch front wheel
 
Will a 23" wheel fit on a stock 2010 Bagger with just fender mods or do you need to extend the front end out some? The only bikes that I have seen done with that wheel are the Yaffe and Sinister bikes with a cut frame. I dont really want to cut the fame on my 2010 yet but would like to run a 23

Is that it or am I going to have to change other things?

Probably also gonna need a tire to fit that rim......:icon_laugh:

You'll at least need to lower the front end or it will handle & look like sh#t, not sure if the fender will hit the trees or frame or not, but I'm guessing it might. Not my cup of tea, but women say you can never go too big.

You only NEED to raise the fender, it would help to lower the front end as it raises up quite a bit with the 23.

i have a 23/ 18 combo. Did not rake it did not lower it or anything else. rides great. But does sit lower on the kick stand because its an inch taller than stock because of the rim.

23" wheel
 
i have installed a 23" wheel. i am keeping the stock fender because i really like the look of it. does anyone sell a spacer to lift the fender. 1998 road king flhrp

You could change to raked triple trees and improve the handling and stance some what. I think Yaffe makes them.
