Anyone ever switch to a 23" front wheel

[dpmp23]

I have a 2008 mutt and want to get rid of the spoke rims this winter before doing the motor work and was wondering how hard it would be to switch to a 23" front wheel. I don't know what front fender I would need to use. I would think that everything else would be the same. Thanks for the help

the only other problem will be that your forks will need to be a little bit shorter because of the 1 1/2" extra height from the wheel and tire.

unless you go with a lower aspect ratio on the tire keeping the overall height of the tire the same as the original.
