Actually the 49mm midglide front end that was stock on the '06 and up Low Rider had some rake built in. I think it was only 1.5 degrees, but I'm not sure.

Crazy

 

That's a really nice bike. I understand your concerns. I've had a bike stolen and it sucks. I would keep the trees and use a disc lock or some other anti-theft device. Just my .02.

 

It may be less expensive to grab a top tree from a FXDC and throw the stock lower back on.

 

I might just drill and top the lower and fab up something that will engage the lock. If I can figure out if the triple trees that have 3 degree rake ate close enough to the stock, maybe that won't effect the ride.

 

Since your trees are hidden behind a fairing already, I would have just found an upper tree from an FXDC. These did not have the built in risers and would bolt tight up.

BTW, that bike looks sinister!

 

dphd06 where abouts in orange county are you? im in rancho santa margarita we should get together and ride sometime

 

I know, I just like the triple trees to match.

Thanks for the compliments on the bike. I have a street glide too, but dont find much interest in riding it lately, lol. I almost have the motor broken in, its killing me. My goal is in 2 months, hopefully able to ride wheelies.

 

Im actually in Rancho too. I'll hit you up sometime, I super busy at the moment with getting ready to move, my business (cnc machine shop), and 4 daughters all between the ages 7 and 12.

 

Sick looking Bob you got there... Have you tried Hawg Halters?

 

I know this is old, but what wheels do you have? They're absolutely killer.
