Looks nice, what size shield are you running and why did you change to a FXDB triple tree?

14" screen. I went with FXDB trees for the 29 degree rake and 4.7" trail.

Can you tell a difference in the 0.4" of trail? Not being sarcastic, I really want to know. I went from 29° with 4.7" (Street Bob) to 28° with 4.9" (Fat Bob), as far as steering feel do to those results I notice very little difference, almost none, figured it was do to the wider trees, how ever the tire change did change the feel. But I only moved my trail 0.2". Seeing as to how your trees are the same with, your feel would be all rake and trail.

I have noticed a slight difference in how the bike turns. Not huge, but slight. My brother has the same bike and it's stock. I rode his bike and then mine back to back to see if there was any difference.

Done.... hahahahahaha until new lights, cams, etc!

Kidding to a certain extent of course, your bike is beautiful, ride the heck out of it and have fun! But, we all know that we're never truly "done"!

I think the the "Take Away" here on changing those trees is that at least you were still able to hold on/control your bike and not drive over the side of the road


Lookin' good

I believe that you believe you're done with modifications and spending money on your motorcycle

Looks good
