Here's the link, but it was a little more then three hundred. The parts and prices I listed didn't include the Wide Glide wheel and tire that I found on eBayhttps://www.hdforums.com/m_814521/tm.htm

Have you looked into just using the Wide Glide triple trees? They aretwo degreesrake, and usingyour stock tubes and stock rear shocks makes it pretty low and level.
wide glide rake is in the frame, not the trees

There is also an additional amount built into the WG trees topull some of the trailout (the main principle behind raked trees)thatwasadded with the increased WG frame rake. Like WS6 said, small but noticeable!

I think the SG custom has even less (a degree maybe)built into it's trees. The rest of the Dyna line has no rake in the trees.

The 06 and up Dyna's have 29 degree in the frame neck except the Wide Glide which has 34 degrees. Also the Low Rider has a 1 1/2 degree triple clamp (total rake=30 1/2 degrees), and the Wide Glide has a 2 degree triple clamp (total rake=36 degrees). Harley Davidson's website only lists the steering head rake anddoes notmention the triple clamp rake.
You can look at their site and compare a Super Glide and a Low Rider, and you will see they both have the same 29 degrees in the steering neck, the trail is also listed and they are different because of the extra rake built into the Low Rider triple clamp.

measure the distance from the top of the frame neck to the top of the fork (just below the upper tree)
measure the distace from the bottom of the frame neck to the fork (just above the lower tree)

The distance is going to be the same (in other words, the forks will be parallel to the head stem) .... i.e. the stretch is in the frame, not the trees, and not a combination.

The only HD model where rake is adjusted in the tree, along with the frame, is the VRod

Nobody saidthey wereadjustable!

WS6 was offering an alternative way to lower your Dyna a little by using WG trees and stock length Bob forks. I said H-D raked the trees a few degrees on two of it's Dyna models a tad for lighter, sharper steering on said models than they would have had without the raked trees. All else being equal, raked trees decrease trail, which sharpens steering!

All three trees carry different part#s, with the Wide Glide also being, what else beside more rake, wider.

Why are you being so persistent in denial of the fact after we took the time to explained?

if you are going to give out information on a web site, then you should be prepared to back it up. I am backing up my statement that the trees in every model except for the VRod, are 0 degree trees. If you take a tree set up from a WG, and put it on any other model, your rake, trail, etc, will not have changed because the are ZERO degree trees.

You can't use the limited information on the HD web site to conclude there is rake in the trees.
