Not sure if you posted the right link to the trees because those are for 41mm tubes Rockers have 49mm tubes.

I was actually planning on going with the wide glide front end. I was pretty sure it's 41mm but I've been wrong before. But I wasn't too worried about it because it's all getting replaced. I just was trying to get all my specs strait with the rake and travel because it's a little confusing to me. I was basing the rest of the front end around those trees.

Pretty sure HD100 went with different trees for his wide glide front and stayed with the 49mm tubes.

It is my understanding that the rocker has 36* frame rake and 0* rake on the tree...

Brochure says Rake Steering Head/Trail 38* / 6.20 in. I think I have seen other places about a 36* rake in the fame, so I assume 2* rake in the trees.

Yes Kowan, you're right, with the Thunderbike trees you can use your stock 49mm tubes.
The trees have a 3° rake.
Just check out their website.
