I forgot to update this. It seems that the overall diameter of both tires cannot be more than 10% different. On the original bike we put a 200/55/17 in plate of the 200/50/17 and that cured the issue. I just talked to the service manager at Fort Worth Harley about it yesterday. So, with a 120/70/21 and a 17 on the rear ensure it is a 20/55/17.
With a 23" we will probably have to try the Vee rubber 23" front tires as it has a lower sidewall profile than the Avon Cobra which is a 130/60/23. I can't remember the sidewall profile on the Vee off the top of my head. It seems running an 18" rear would probably help as well but I have not crunched the numbers on this yet.

Currently I have a 120/70/21 up front and a 200/50/17 in the rear. I haven't test rode yet to see if I have the ABS issue yet because of weather but if I do, switching to a 200/55/17 in the rear should cure the problem? Just checking in with ya to see if the problem came back or you had to do anything additional. I have a 14 SGS with ABS and Reflex Braking. I'm pretty sure you answered this question before HogPro but just following up.

another update...
ThunderHeart ended up sending me a 21" module at the last minute, after going back n' fourth with engineers in regards to my rolling diameters.
...even this I assumed I'd have needed a 23" kit due to my larger tire, and sure enough it didn't work.
but, they were quick to get a 23" in the mail and I'll be swapping the module out today for the other and will report back ASAP.
a note, installation was a piece of cake, the kit a nice solid unit, and there is a perfect place to mount it on the radio...instructions were provided.

Did you get any feedback from anyone who installed this and if it works? Mine has been installed for a few weeks now but weather is not cooperating.
