Default Question 21" vs. 23" cost difference

I'm in the market for new wheels for my 2013 FLHX. I know I'm going to at least a 21/18 combo but I've been entertaining the thought of going to a 23" front. Does anyone have any estimates on the cost difference in going up to the 23?

The cost difference for the wheel & tire is minimal so my question is really what else do I need to change if I choose to go up to a 23?

I've seen posts that say trike trees, are these a requirement to run the 23?

Roughly $900 for trees, lowering kit and travel limiters. Depending on the choice of fender $600-$1200 for fender and paint.

Been there, done that...

Thank's puzzled1, I ended up just spending the $$ on a rear wheel so I have a 21/18 on the way.
