Mark, you know I am a big fan , but am I crazy ? or did I like the normal spoke tires more ?..
Tell me man, how did going tubeless and the front 23 affect your ride ? I am thinking of going tubeless on the rear tire at least, just to get a nice sport tire and see how much scraping damage I can do

06STRD... I have a lepera bare bones (no gel)
klf... You can still run a tubeless tire with a tube, as far as the 23 up front... It handles great not as quick into the turns as the 21 but it tightend everything up cause of the 130 up front. I'm still getting used to it though. I can tell you it holds the road better going straight and in the turns!
Toby... DNA wheels... They took forever get here, but for the price I got them for I could afford to get the 23 front compared to the other fat spoke guys. As far as how they'll hold up we'll have to wait and see. I'm running them tubeless I trust my Indy and he says he knows how to seal them incase, he says if theres a leak we'll find it dig it out and reseal it. I had to call DNA a few times to see what was going on, I talked to a girl "Star" that seems answer the phones there and she was super cool and very helpful unlike the storys I've heard.
Install...
The front needed new spacers to be cut... easy fix
The rear was perfect but my pulley bolt needed to be cut down by a 1/4 inch
(I did here that for my year 2000-2005 the rears fit good, but I've heard the hubs for the 200 tire softails made need spacers)
btw... the 23 need to be mounted by hand, it didn't fit on the tire machine... lol
After all the BS I went through waiting for them, I happy with them... Now I'm just gonna ride for awhile...
