Default Did to an 08 Street Bob
2008 Street Bob with Fat Bob trees (same as width as Wide Glide). Tire is a 130/60-23 and the wheel is a 23x3 laced to a stock wide glide hub with spokes from Buchanan's

This 99 Dyna was my inspiration to do my bike. You can find the article on hotbike.com

I haven't actually gotten to test ride it yet. Had a very severe back issue come up I'm dealing with.

I did have to lower the front 1/2" down on the forks and also did a 1" drop with progressive drop in kit. Puts the bike at stock trail.

Google "Progressive Drop In Kit". And to lower the trees on the bike, loosen all the pinch bolts and push the forks up in the trees evenly and tighten the pinch back to proper torque values.
