Thanks for the info.

 

Let me know if you ever do it, how much it cost youand how easy it was because, I want to add 2 or4 inches on my Bob next spring and I also want to change the tripple trees for wider WG ones.

Thanks

I have just recently put 2" slugs on mine. I love it! I'm hoping to do 4" over forks in the future but the slugs were readily available and only took a half our to put on.

My last bike was a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic that had 4" slugs.

 

Talk to me about the slugs, is this something different? I am looking at the 2" extension can you please explain.

 

What are slugs? and how do they work?

 

I believe he's talking about a 2" extender where you remove the fork cap and replace it with a cap that is 2" tall, thus raising the bike.

 

Very nice, does anyone have info on where to get these slugs?

 

I'm not sure where to get them.I helped my dad put a set on his VTX. It's damn near a two man job trying to get them screwed into the top of the fork w/o burning the palm of your hand out,but its a whole lot easier (and cheaper I would assume) than replacing the whole tube.

Been thinkin about this myself along with rakin out the trees 3deg and going with a larger front hoop.

 

in my humble opinion slugs are not the way to go, think about it, fork tubes that are 2-4 inches longer then stock, or stock tubes with slugs screwed in to lengthen them, we all know screwed connection are not as strong as the one piece item. I know I'm stepping on toes here, but way back when, slugs were know to snap right at the connection..
