I have searched and cant seem to find an answer. is it possible to fit a 23" front without raking the front and use a lifted front fender on a deluxe? any help would be great.

 

I don't think you could fit a 23" without modification or a new fender. My 21" only has about a 1/4" clearance.

 

Yes you can. You need a "fender lift kit". No rake required. A 23" with the stock fender looks wrong in my opinion....a bit like a boof head trying to fit a small helmet on his head.
I would get a fender made to fit a 23" wheel if i was going to fit one.
Goodluck.

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

You can run a 23" without rake and fender mod with no issues. i dont like the look.

 

Also, you need a 50 series tire for that to fit in the fender. 130/50/23

 

really? could any of you help me with coming up with the proper amount of lowering to keep the bike rideable lol I'd like to go for the slammed look but I'd also like to be able to ride the bike any idea on how much I would be able to drop it, I'm thinking 1.5-2" in the rear so that would translate to almost 5" drop in the front right? and is that even a possibility. Sorry for all the questions

 

I'm on my bike all the time. I run a 21" front wheel, 16" rear. Front is lowered 2" and the rear is lowered 1.5".

I have the same....21" front, 16" rear, 1.5 drop rear on Progressive 422s, and 2" front drop on Progressive lowering springs. I dont ride aggressive on corners so i dont scrape my boards much.

 

Are you saying you lowered the rear of your Deluxe 1.5" from what it was new? Or .5" more than stock for a Deluxe, so 2.5"? Nice bike btw!
