I think you've been watching way too much American Chopper.
Call Paul Junior Desighns,I'm shure he will be able to help you out.

But to each his own . If thats the look you like go for it.

The new pitbulls have 23", don't they?

Might be alright. Get a real low profile tires.

My wolf has a 23" front wheel.

I would think on any chopper type you would need to change to short forks to get the proper look.

Not sure why the hate....23" on a k-9 has several advantages, sans the natural chopper look.

The Ness Highliner comes with a 23", although some still want a 21".

Would enjoy hearing the feedback from any K9 owners who went this route as well....

Some of those bikes look good and them some are just flat out UGLY!!! I just found out about the 30" front wheel stuff about a month ago. Crazy looking stuff. Not bad on the baggers. Chopper?

This is what I'm looking for! thanks Boomer, I know they are out there...You're are right, a nice "meaty" front end is where I want to go...I'm looking at the American Suspension inverted forks as well...I could use the Wolf fender...

Correct - When rebuilding my K9 I tried a mock up with it and she sits nose high - Need shorter forks to make it look right, then you get into trail settings. 21 is just fine -

If I calculate correctly, I would only have to have 1 inch shorter forks?

My 2008 Pitbull comes with 130/60-R23 on front, and 280/40-R20 on rear. The rake is 6" (at 33") shorter than the K-9 (at39").
