question about running bigger front wheel 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago

You guys running 21"-23" front wheels, did you lower the front end to compensate for the larger wheel?

My front tire has the OD of a standard 23". Made it a bear to find a fender. I lowered the front 2" and lowered the back 1-1/2. It rides great.

I'm kinda rolling the idea of a chromed raider wheel with R1 brakes on mine. Thinking this will be the cheap way to the look I want, but really would hate to lose the soft cush ride I have now.

I am running the 21" Raider wheel. I lowered the front 2" and the rear 1". Rides great, but it is a noticeable difference over stock.

I like the way Yogi's bike looks. Looks like it is accelerating, even when sitting still! Gasser?
