Chrome lower forks
#11
Not a Trike guy - but it took me 3 hours to do my Ultra. - BE ADVISED - there is significant load on the springs so be ready - have towels and rags to protect your fender - measure fluid removed for proper refill and the BIG ONE. There is a special tool for aligning the ignition - I have done it with and without - a lot easier with the tool, but it cost between $60 - $95 depending on where you buy it.

I'm thinking Cams not Chrome
Ya know Chrome is nice really nice but... I have to draw a line maybe after I change Cams maybe. Chrome lowers is last on the list. I just can't do anything more shiney until I have a little more muscle in the motor. just sayin sitting behind my windshield. ride safely fearless

I just did the front forks on my 14 trike. I have added a photo of the finished front end. I would strongly recommend that if you buy the lowers that you also buy the chrome upper. The reason for this is the chrome upper is a stainless steel which looks like chrome until you put a piece of chrome next to it and the colors are vastly different. The chrome has a blue luster where the stainless has a yellow luster. I bought my chrome upper and lowers from ***** shiny for $225.00
Far as changing them out, I removed my forks then took them to my local dealer who charged me 1 1/2 hrs labor to swap out the internal components. They are very easy to remove just make sure that before you remove them make note of how far above the top of the triple tree that the fork extends so you can put it back at the same height. You want it to be close to the original height and both at the same height.
