Wide Street Bob Done (almost)

Well we had some bad weather roll in a few weeks ago so I decided to go ahead with my FatBob triple tree install on the Street Bob. Not doing dual discs yet. Also, since I had to pull the tank to get to the wires, I figured I might as well do the cams at the same time, without having to use adjustable push rods. So I got the new cams in, and have the trees and forks back on. I am waiting on a spacer kit for the axle, rotor, and fender, but other than that it is complete. Cams make it idle a lot different, and definitely louder, but I haven't been able to ride it until I get the front end done and torqued down. Here are a couple of photos of the trees:

The wheel is offset in this one because the spacers and rotor are not installed yet.

Thanks to all the guys that posted or IM'd info for me to use on this install. Overall, pretty cheap on the cam - $280 in for the Andrews 48h and an S&S install kit with gaskets and B-148 bearings, $0 in labor. But I will probably have to get it dynoed for some $. Running a canned map from a similar build right now.
The trees were a pretty cheap mod as well since I found used ones on the forum. Most expensive part is the Hawg Hawlters wide conversion kit.
