Got it all from JP Cycles in the 2007 Big Book on page 784 part is the 39mm Triple tree conversion kit from Accutronix $759.99. All of the needed parts are included fender spacers etc. Pretty easy to do With some unique thinking had to put the trees in the freezer for about an hour prior to installing the bearing. Once the part is cold the bearing drops right in no pounding needed. It was recomended to be done this way from the factory. Pretty interesting I thought. Next is gonna be the chromed lowers

JS no they are not raked. It keeps the stock angles. Just the wider look. Did forget though had to buy the neck post bearing and teh dust covers. But worth it I think.

looks good!
now - what to do with those crappy stock bars?
only reason I comment on bars is that I have the same dilema.

I put a MID-GLIDE front end on mine, and I love it. I also put 4" risers on. But, I hated the bars and the way the speedo looked. I noticed you have the same problem. That speedo is obnoxious. So, I put 24" drag bars on, and tear drop mirrors. Now, the speedo blends in nice with the mirrors, and isn't nearly as obnoxious:
Here's what it was like before the drags:
This was a low cost alternative to getting a digital speedo and looks a LOT better.
