Had them on a old Honda rat bike, and on my 02 WG now. Only problem I have with them is the way the bike takes curves.

Hard to explain, but it doesn't flow thru curves like it did before. Kinda feels like the *** end of the bike scoots thru a curve.

After the news I got today, mine will probably be coming off along with everything else on the bike.

That will be explained in a thread I'm getting ready to start.

I just put an FL front end on my Street Bob. The FL front end is shorter than the stock Dyna front end so I had to lower the rear. I used the 1" lowering blocks and they seem fine. I didn't notice the same thing that Kevin714 did, but perhaps that's because the front is lowered on mine as well.

I've only ridden about 900 miles on them, but so far, so good.
