alot of ppl go to 21" but I haven't heard of going to a 23".
My street bob with a 19" handles better than other dynas I've riden with the 21"

I've heard both ways that the 21 doesn't handle as well and that it handles just fine. A 23 would be different, but it might take away the handling that makes a dyna a dyna...

my 21" handles better then the 19" I had on it... but that is for another discussion. I have never heard of anyone putting a 23" on theirs. That would look a bit odd I would thing without a lowering kit on the front, hmmmm maybe you can be the first and then write us all about it.

I've read about 23's in magazines but I've never met anyone or heard of anyone on here with it.

The word "hooptie" comes to mind........and all the negative connotations that go along with it.

23" wheels look great on Big Dog baggers and other pseudo custom bikes but a Dyna with 23" wheels would look as silly (and as ghetto) as the one pictured in the link above.
