I believe the top of the triple tree to center of axle on a 07 Haritige is 34"
" 06 Streetbob is 32"
do some Softails have raked trees also?

You bet. I was in Frontier HD in Lincoln today and one of the guys I know had his WG with a brand new fatboy front end on it. It looked sweet. Totally changed the look of the bike. Go for it. Would love to see it.

Yea people have been doing it for years. I believe there was a Candian dealership in Quebec (possibly) doing conversions and calling them Lowboys several years ago...putting Fatboy front ends on dyna frames. I've always liked the fat front end look personally...

cans or tins its the way we call in spain al the crome parts of sofatil forks, the chipest is to use fat bob trees and keep my bars but I love the look of a softail fork full of crome and all of this parts wont fit my front end(i didnt buy a softail because i prefers dynas agility and rear suspension).

Heres is a link to see what i mean by cans,

what I need to know is if any of the softail triple trees fits my dyna 07, if the trees fit the fork fits. Maybe they fit but I will have to do something with trees stops in orther to block the fork and avoid having a fork that turns 360Âş. I hope you understad because my english is not very good and sometimes it is very hard to me to explain what I want.

Thank you for your help!
