Default Gloss Black Triple Tree Kit
So I'm replacing my Triple tree's on my 2009 Fat Bob becuase I f'ed them up with a buch of scratches and nicks. I never seen these Gloss Black Tree's on a bike. I really like the Chrome and black look for my FXDF. Just not certain what I think about the Gloss Black. I don't want it to have a plastic look. Opinions??

A local dealer had a Fat Bob set up with those, along with the black heat shields and other black trim pieces. It was a pewter denim, and looked pretty cool.

You could always just get yours media blasted and powdercoated gloss black. Much cheaper than buying new trees.

Getting them powder coated would be cheaper but $250 isn't bad for those. I was told over $300 just for the top mount for my Street Bob (so I can put drag bars on).
Not to high jacket this thread but if I went with these black Fat Bob triple trees what kind of spacing would I need to make the Street Bob wheel still fit?
