RE: AME Chopper kit
I wan't intending to shoot my mouth off about anything either way, as I certainly don't know enough to be shooting my mouth off. That and the fact that I am also interested in the AME kits. However, I was just posting a link to some more information regarding front ends, that's all. There is never anything wrong with doing some research before making a decision regarding changes or purchasing parts is there? \\; That being said, it would be awesome to hear more detail from you regarding the kit, since you actually have one installed.

RE: AME Chopper kit
The most important aspect of a chopper is the trail dimension. A bike which simply relies on a raked or adjustable tree cannot achieve more then 5 or 6 deg of additional rake before the trail becomes so small that the bikes handling becomes dangerous. The AME bolt-on system eliminates the guess work by providing your chopper with the same trail as the stock motorcycle. \\; From the AME website. So apparently AME has designed their kits with the trail in mind to not suffer from the problems that website \\;I was looking at was talking about! Also good to know! And that's two guys here that have experience with their products that recommend them.

Maybe a brain fart but not getting your numbers. The 14 degree kit would give you at least 43 degrees of rake depending on the model Dyna.

RE: AME Chopper kit
I have a 2.5 inch tank lift and have plenty of room to spare.
My kits a 49mm Wide Glide. Rock stable.
I installed mine in about ten hours, pretty simple if ya have some tool and a little mechanical apptitude.
factory 29 degree rake on my FXD + 14 degrees of kit = 43 degrees of rake on my 07 FXD.
If the forum worked you could check out the pics in my gallery.
