Default Anyone install this on a Wideglide
Has anyone installed the black triple tree kit that Harley sells for a Fat Bob on the Wideglide? It has less rake and is what I am looking for. Other than it raising the front a little (and there are a few different ways to fix that) are there any issues I need to be aware of? At 199.00 through Surdyke, it seems like a good deal...Part number is 48609-09 and it is located here http://www.surdyke.com/AdvPartInfo.a...umber=48609-09

Unless your just looking for a different rake, you could probably get yours powdered for a lot less than that.

Did you have issues? I only ask because I'm looking down that road.

I thought the Fat Bob had larger diameter fork tubes then the Wide Glide.
