Default Anyone done the 23 or 26 wheel?

I know its waaaay out of the norm and not a traditional look but to each there own I say,,,,,,,,


So If you happen to have done the 23" or 26" front tire on a street glide I would love to see it and hear about your experience. Been looking at the 23" and it just needs a triple tree to ge tit done. The 26" looks like you need to do a slip fit weld in neck and tree's. Then I seen a couple setup's (like one from ness) that shows only trees to do a 26"?


Love to hear some thots and if you hate the look I get it, but I don't so to each there own. thxs for your time, paul

I have a 23" front. I used Pickard USA 6 degree triple trees. It handles perfectly. Only problem is the 2014 linked brake system does not know how to handle any wheel larger than a 21". The bigger wheel throws off the wheel speed sensors and the ABS system disables itself. There is currently no fix for this with a 23" or larger wheel.

Agreed on the 2014 ABS issue, but I believe someone has resolved it up to 23", but I could be incorrect.

Here's my '08 with Pickard 6* trees, 23" PM wheel. Absolutely love the ride. I 've had this setup for well over a year, and it rides fine, no issues.

Handles well, 80 mph no hands no problem. Abs not an issue because I ran from master to caliper, but abs light stays lit.
