I am starting my first build. I have my old triple trees from my 2000 softail shown in the picture but I am noticing the pivot shaft on the tree is 1-2" too long. Can I cut this and thread it to the length needed or is there a way to remove it and order the correct size? If so how to remove it the right way and where can I find a new shaft? The bars are for mock up lol I will be going with drags or 6" bars.
@DD Choppers I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the Shovelhead section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.
The Welcome section is more for introducing yourself & letting other forum members know what Harley Davidson you own, not asking technical questions.
