Would a chopper kit ruin the Fatbob

I Photoshopped about 10° of rake and extended the forks about 6-8" on my WG, and decided I liked the look. Started searching the internet, and found the AME and Seeger kits. At something over $1,600, I think you'd want to be pretty sure that's what you wanted to do. I mean, it certainly makes undoing it easy, but then you're stuck with trying to sell it to someone else. The Seeger kits are pretty extreme, so I'd probably end up going with an AME kit, +9° & +8". Since a WG is already to supposed to have a chopper look, I think adding some more rake an length works well.
On a Street Bob, that would be another thing entirely. Being they're both Dyna frames, I imagine you could end up making the Bob look like a WG with added rake & extended forks, but that would kind of seem to defeat the purpose of buying a SB in the first place.
As for the quality of these kits... I doubt, in our litigious society, a company would risk everything by not doing their homework. From my research, these kits are well thought out. The reviews, that I have found, are all positive.

Strange avatar by the way, Fess up Dyna Mo...is that limp wristed pink chopper your ride?? It matches your sweater.
Someone said it early on, this should have been a poll, but, its nice to see that there are some informed folks on this board that have at least taken the time to look at the website and get an understanding of how it really works, instead of making the usual uninformed rake and trail comments.
