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.

i was going to buy a new front end so it would be all chrome so i should try to get it stock lenght ?cause i have a 19 inch wheel and going to go with a 21 inch so that moves my axle height 1 inch . so with a sock front and that would end up being higher. i think .... plus the 3 dergee trees would also make it higher so i feel lost !!!!

Axle height would only go up about a half inch with the 21" lower profile tire. Also the more you rake it out the lower it will drop, as well as more unstable at speed (high speed wobble).The Low Rider is pretty low to begin with, if you go lower then you get into scrapping pipes, foot controls, and the rear primary case.

Where did you find 3° trees at?

I wasn't aware that they made any for our 2006s.

Give us a link.
