So who has been adventurous enough to put on raked trees and run a 23" or 26" front wheel?
If so, details?

 

Please.....NO NO NO NO NO........ I am soooooo sick of seeing those ridiculous looking POS's running around.................just NO.....

YMMV

The owner of Cut-N-Shoot Customs in Conroe,TX has this Hannigan Transformer under construction. It has an RC Comp 21" front wheel and HHI +12deg raked trees. Gonna be a killer trike, when done.

 

Really nice. Love the paint. Wonder if he is using a standard 21 or years ago I remember talk about a "Fat 21" for Baggers that was almost the same size as a 23?

 

did the 9 degree rake w/ standard front wheel

 

How do you feel about the end result? Worth it, would you do it again? Pros and cons?

 

hmmm. yes.. I liked the result. was not as easy as I expected, ablility to get front tubes back together required a trip to the dealer, instructions sucked.. going forward, love the results. learning to back up was a challange.

 

How so??

 

Dunno if I'd call it a 'big wheel', but it's a 21 x 3.50 wheel running a 120/70 tire with 3" over Wide Glide fork tubes in stock clamps. I like it. Yea, it's a bit of a handful; let's you know you're riding something unique

 

Not sure why this was moved to Conversions? I was asking about raking a Tri Glide and running a 21 or 23 front wheel.
