Default Triple tree ?'s

Im wanting to change out the top clamp on my SB. Ive found several options to choose from but then I saw these...

http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

I was already planning on having the tree's powder coated black when I picked up the new top clamp. But I didnt see these listed for the SB. Any idea's if these will work?

those will work if you want to convert to WG width trees, otherwise just get an aftermarket top clamp and get it coated black.

Like was already said, Fat Bob trees are wide glide width. I am planning on doing the swap to mine sometime this winter, already have the parts. To make them work you need some spacers to make the mid glide wheel work with the wide glide width of the trees and a wide glide axle. I bought a conversion kit from Hawg Halters that came with a new axles and the spacers for the rotor and wider wheels spacers. The kit also came with spacers for the fender but I'm using a Wide Glide fender so I won't need them.

If you don't want to do the conversion then you'll need to find a top tree from a Superglide and have them powdercoated.

As long as it's an '06 or later top tree.

Ok, Thanks. I have a '12 and wanted to replace the top tree plus have the trees powdered black.

Any 49mm top tree except Fat Bob or Wide Glide will bolt right on. They are all the same as far as fit.
