On most Harleys the triple tree is a good thing but on my bike because the front is raked farther than most maybe not. So I'm no closer to being able to tell if I'll be using a triple tree or not. Can't wait to get started
I bet you are pumped. You bought an awesome kit and the bikes going to look like a beast. Can't wait to see those fat *** tires on your ride.

I'm ridding it, I can't get the smile off my face. The body shop screwed up the fenders some so we will need to repaint them. Won't get them until next week.
A few pics of it now.

Just came across this thread. DAMN, that looks hot! I can't wait 'til I'm old!

LOL!! No, don't wait until your old. The idea is to get a hot rod looking one and ride it like a mad man while your young. I'm way more aggressive now then when it had only 2 measly wheels.

Looks to me that you have the fender brackets on the wrong side. I did that to wife's Franenstien sportster, looked at it when I put fenders on and said, I don't like the fenders on it, looked at pitchers on thier website and seen what I did wrong. Give it a look should have more fender in the front not in the back. Wife would not ride the sportster as a two wheeler, about 200 miles in a year, 10,000 miles next year after triking it, she loved it. She traded it in on a new Freewheeler. Thanks to Frankenstien for getting my wife to ride on her own. David
