Default ***Question about triple trees***

Was wondering if any one out there could answer a question for me! I have been thinking about raking my bike a bit. I found lower triple tree on eBay for a 2010 wide glide. I have a 2012 fat bob.. The question I have, is can I use my upper tree with the lower tree off a 2010 wide glide?

no... the wideglide tree is raked, where as the fatbobs are not...when you installed the forks thru the lower wideglide tree they would not align or probally not even slide thru the upper fatbob tree

Nope! As stated previously. they are two completely different angles (rakes). Not going to align properly.
