That wouldnt give you that much of a extension travel from stock. Look at trackerdies damper tube!

Two over might give you a bit of the look you want without messing up the handling too bad.

Others may advise you to go longer, like maybe 6" over for that old skool chopper look, but I'll tell you, it'll make your forks floppy (and flexy!), make slow-speed turns crappy, slow your high speed handling, increase your turning circle, and turn what was a pretty sweet ride into an absolute pig.

Just one man's opinion. You get what you pay for. Sometimes less.

Oh, just ran across this on the classified forums: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...1-and-3in.html

A whole lot less work, a third the price, and you can easily revert to the stock setup if you don't like it.

I just installed a set of 2 over tubes on my fxdls with race tech internals with emulators and adjusters. Good bit of money spent but worth it to me.

I run 2" ones on my low rider, have for at least 5k hard miles, haven't had any issues. Works for now until I tear down the front end to rebuild and just do a set of WG tubes.
