RE: Low Rider

Thanks for the compliments. Digger it is an Accutronix elite series 3 deg raked triple tree. I need to take new pics, Progressive shock leaked. Installed chrome air shocks instead. It sure rides smoother but they are 12 inch instead of 11 so its not slammed as low.

So I guess with the Accutronix trees you are running the 39mm tubes? And if so, are they the stock tubes or longer? Sorry for all the questions, but It is hard to find many people who have done the front end conversion.

Thanks again,

RE: Low Rider

I too am 5'2" and have problems putting my feet flat on the ground even after having it lowered 1 1/2". The biggest problem seems to be the width of the seat and the way the primary cover sticks out. I plan to have the seat narrowed in the front and hope this will help some. I love my lowrider! I sat on every bike in 3 different dealerships after deciding to trade my Sportster for something bigger. Was sitting on the dock when "my bike" was rolled off the truck. I fell in love with it instantly! After about 3 weeks, the dealer came around to my way of thinking and I got it for a great price. It has the Jake & Elwood Sunglo Blue paint scheme and is a real beauty. Can't imagine having anything else.

Havanablast.......beautiful bike you have!

Jake, you have a gorgeous bike! That is a beautiful paint scheme. Be safe over there!

RE: Low Rider

carlsdyna.......I tried to go to the link you provided, but it's not working. Could it be CUSTOMHARLEYSEATS.COM???? I've tried several times to open the link but no go. Maybe Harley-Davidson made them change their name???
