You are probably better off trading in your bike for a 2010 wide glide that has come back with low miles. It may turn out to be a wash for you in the long run. Good luck and ride safe!

Adding rake to a bike you own vs. buying a new bike? Not even close man!

Looks great! What effect did the changes have on the ride?

roadman's setup (3 degree accutronix) seems to be the closest to the look of the stock wide glide, but ws6 formula's (2 degree wide glide stock trees) set up appears to be alot cheaper.
