I was thinking about this kit today and realized I had seen one locally. While I was impressed with the ingenuity, it didn't look ...well... 'right' I guess is the only word for it. I checked out the bottom triple tree and how the made a static bracket so they could move the pivot point out further, in effect giving it a raked neck without raking the neck. It works, make no mistake. It just didn't look right.

If they have any high res pics, blow up the bottom triple tree area and see if you see what I mean

I think the 18 degree kits are too much and dont look right on some bikes.
Even the 14 degree kits look outta place on a few I have seen.
I like mine.
This link is hi rez pic of mine, you can zoom it and check out the parts.

Is that the 9° kit with 4" over and if so, would that be 4" over stock Superglide or Wideglide?

She looks like a chopper!

I have the AME Wide Glide 14 degree kit with 8 over tubes.
My 07 FXD SuperGlide has 29 degrees stock, with the 14 degree kit I have a total of 43 degree. (04 FXDWG and FXDL share the same frame and are stock at 34 degree's, The Wide Glide fork tubes are 2 inches longer, gives you the longer wheelbase) So GarretG's would end up at 43 degrees also.

Slipstrm,
I tried to zoom it in for everyone to see but I think I made it a bit fuzzy.
Hope this helps a little.
