I'm thinkin a fender would be required .. Personally .. I wouldnt change wheels and leave the dbl disk on .. wheel looks tooo good to cover it on the show side ..go to 13 inch rotor w/6 piston caliper and perhaps LRB pads .. But I do like the big wheels ..  Jus sayin

I had to change the triple trees so the trailing would be right and the fender thats all that had to be changed to make the 23 inch rim work.

Who's tree did you use ? I was looking at Hawg Halters weld on kit but that looks risky, Anyone got any advice on this? Thanks CVOERS

http://hstrial-trickyairbillet.intuitwebsites.com/ this is the web site they came from i didn't do any welding just changed the trees so if I was wanting to put it back stock I could if u were to do any welding that means u will be cuting your frame and I didn't want to do that

I am putting on those same bars the end of this week and can't wait to get it back from the shop.  Your pics pushed me over the edge to fet the Carilini over the Yaffe.

Hi Chad,  So you changed the triple trees and kept the stock front end. A couple of  questions, Did you do anything to the fairing bracket ? Are  the headlight pointing upward?  No wobble at high speed? Does the fender hit the bottom of the fairing? Does it sit level? I have a 12 CVO Road Glide and thinking of going the 23 inch route but I'm hesitant to cut the frame. Thanks Manny

Manny when i put the triple trees on It comes with a bracket for the headlight to be adjusted back to the stock position so its not pointed in the trees its level. Its does not wobble a bit i have had it up to 120mph still rides the same. No the fender does not hit the fairing i have hit a couple of bumps and it has not hit yet This is the reason I put the stiffer springs in the forks so it wont bottom out. It still sits level too. I hope this helps you with your decision about you bike i would not cut the frame if i were you its like cutting the value of you bike in half if u do that.
