Default What wheels are these?

Does anyone know what wheels these are? Debating if I want to throw a 23" on the front or just plan for a 21".

Thx

I have the 21" contrast cut. It is a very nice wheel. Ordered with them mounting and balancing an Avon venom tire. Arrived without a single weight on it. Put it on the balancer and it was spot on. Very impressed.

I know very little about upgrading from the stock front wheel size to a 21" or a 23". Besides the purchase of the wheel and tire, what other mods are needed? Does the factory front fender still fit? Do most keep the factory fender? Do you need to change the rear wheel and tire in order to do the front?

I have a 21" wheel and here is my personal experience. The wheel fit with the stock fender, I lowered the front suspension with a one inch progressive brand lowering kit to keep the bike level. It handles perfect. I did not do the rear wheel since not much is visible under the bags. As you can see in the picture it does show enough to where I want to atleast paint it gloss black to match the front. I don't know what to expect with a 23" wheel

I love the look of the 21". I have heard once you go bigger theres alot more mods necessary and the ride isn't a touring bike ride anylonger. Does your bike have the abs on the front?
