Step By Step
The 5-Step Conversion
Everything you need to run a wide 23 × 5.5 front — or let us handle it all with a complete kit.
1. Pick Out a 23 × 5.5″ Wheel
Make sure you choose the WIDE 23 × 5.5 wheel — not a standard-width size. We’ll help you find the perfect wheel and finish for your build.
2. Raked Triple Trees
Trees rake your bike out to make up for the larger fat 23-inch wheel. The 23 wide tire is about the overall height of a 26″ standard-width wheel’s tire — so it’s tall! Skip the trees and you could get a dangerous wobble. Ours come with a wobble-free guarantee.
3. Get a Wide Fender
Your stock fender won’t work — it’s way too narrow. Let’s put on a wide fender so we can get it right!
4. Custom Fork Legs
Dramatically improve the look of your build with custom lower fork legs. The stock ones are cheap cast aluminum — our aftermarket legs look awesome (though they’re not required).
5. Brake Rotors
Transfer your stock rotors to the new wheel, or purchase new matching rotors — your choice. Run dual disc like your Harley Touring comes with, or read up on a single-disc conversion.
