Default r 23" front wheel for FXDBI street bob model

I'm looking for 23" front wheel for harley davidson.
My bike model is 09-FXDBI street bob model

I asked fitness of mammoth 52 spoke and fat 50 23" front wheel with my bike to the manufacturals.

But all the answers were No..

They said their 23" spoke wheel will not fit a 2009 FXCB Dyna, whoever if it a wide glide front end yes.

I spent lots of time to know exactly what is wide glide front end, and which parts I have to buy for 23" front spoke wheel.

However, I couldn't find the answer until now..

Dear my friends,

if you have experience about 23" front wheel customs of FXDBI

please give me some information what I have to know..

Thank you

The 23" rim will be difficult to mount on the front of a street bob. I am sure there is a way to do this but we are yet to do it here at HogPro.

Clearance issues with triple tree Joe? That is what I am not sure about. Obviously the stock fender has to go.

no clearance issue... you should also have room to drop the front still an inch if i recall correctly... i mocked up a 140/21 on mine and the over all tire circumference was the same or just shy of what a 23 would be at... so i busted out the tape to measure... would fit no problem, i if i did not have so much time in my spokes and wheels i would go 23 up front

I guess I should mock up a 23" on my Dyna and see what happens. If time ever lends itself to this type of project I'll get to it so we know the truth.

If one was looking for a 23" hoop and spokes where might he find a good deal?
