New member from Miami,FL. Does anyone have pics of the 23 cvo front wheel on street glides? Trying to see some pics of the 23 wheel before I make the purchase.

Go to Jerry Covington's website:

http://www.covingtonscyclecity.com/ click Motorcycles, click Harley.

he uses 23's and 26'es on highly modified Street Glides and Road Glides. I have not tried one, but they look like they may present a handling problem. At least this will show you the "look".

That's a nice set up you have.i checked hog pro, they seem to have the best prices.none of the bikes on there gallery have that 23 Cvo wheel.did you do the triple trees? A lot of guys in my area are using a 23 wheel without trees,just lowering the front a lot and using stops.

Thanks for the pic! That's what I'm looking for. But going to use a wrap fender and phantom cut wheel. All the pics I've seen have been on road glides.

Has anybody used 130/50/23 vee rubber for a low profile look? Any downside on using it.

Less tire between the wheel and the road.

Road Glides are currently very popular bikes to hot rod.

I have pics of Phantom Cut wheels, all on Roadies.

I have pics of wrapped fenders, all on Roadies.

That street glide is the first one I have seen with that wheel, I like the look.I wish there was more to see on cvo's but I get the idea how it looks now.

I have Pickard Trees.

Im going to try it first without Raked trees using the fork stops like some guys in my area but may end up getting them anyway. Heres my cvo tequila sunrise with just about everything done to it.I will post more pics after 23 wheel is done.Does anyone know who will match my fender on a 23 wrap without charging crazy $$$ for a simple one color with flame pinstripe?

you can ship anywhere but it might help narrow things down if you post your general location in case somebody has a painter nearby.

Ricky,

Custom paint prices can cause heart attacks, therefore be careful when opening quotes.
Here is a guy that does a lot of Eddie Trotta's work.

In a few days I'm sure you will get many more links from our membership.

You really ought to re-consider your thoughts of just installing a 23" wheel w/o trees. Doing a 21" wheel you STILL need to lower the front end to get the rake & trail back... You can't lower a 23" enough to make it ride decent. Plus it will likely smash your fender into either your crash bar (if you have one) or the brake tee under the triple tree. Not to mention it will be all raised up in the front, and not at all level. To each his own, but i'd cry once and do it right before you screw up parts, or end up with an ill handling bike. Pickards make good 23" trees. I'm sure others can tell you, Puzzled has mucho experience with this set up.

Any interest in a chrome wheel then having the black added like Grant did? I have one listed in the for sale section.

Quote

Grant J. 21" wheel. Grant ordered a chrome wheel and had the black added so he has a unique chrome and black back cut wheel.

Ricky,

don't know if you saw this thread, if not, it's worth a look.

Here is the 23 wheel install without trees.

Looks good but that's a really tight fit.

I hope you don't have many bumpy roads in your area.

I do have the raked trees,but wanted to see how it rides without them. It rides the same as the 19 I had. Got it up to 80 mph with no problem, I also went down a few bad roads and fender never touched but I'm not going to take the chance after painting fender so I'm going to use the travel limiters.
