what pros and cons are there for handling with a 23 up front?

 

It seems like I've only heard good things for the WG anyways because the neck is already raked and now we can run a 130 tire up front meaning we won't be catching cracks and all that fun stuff as much.

 

does a bigger wheel effect handling at all? i'd love to go this route on my fat bob but wondered about adverse effects.

 

A larger wheel is a larger rolling mass which will feel heavier and steering will feel a bit slower, especially at slower speeds. However I have a 21" on the softail and we have a 23" on the Street Glide and I have ridden both and felt no ill effect aside from the fact the front end feels heavier and the steering is a little bit slower.

I was thinking about doing a 23" on the softail, but the Dyna is for canyon carving and the 23" makes no sense to me on that. The Street Glide is sick with the 23" I'll get a pic and post it for you.

 

The Baggers with the big wheels are just sick!

Do you have any hook ups on finding 23" hoops?? PM me if you want

 

If you are looking for just the hoop I cannot help. Spokes is not one of our specialties unfortunately, however we do a few 23"'s in stock at all times.

 

If you still haven't found a rim V-twin manufacturing sells 23" ring an they also sell a 23" already laced up for a Dyna.

 

I don't know for sure but I think there is a thread on here where a guy in spain put a 23 in front and 18 in back on a street bob. I think he was in spain too. Iirc it was a dna mammoth spoke.

na man, they're right the fu@k out of er. you dont need a wide glide front end. PM will make you anything you want for the same price, that will fit any front end you want. Just be prepared to wait, and have them fu@k your order up a 100 times. Heres my dyna with a PM 23" front

And you dont need to rake it either, thats bullsh!t too. just drop your clamps an inch or two on your fork tubes to get the right height.
