Worked fine for me, did require some spacer work for the front wheel of course, for me I also made it more difficult fitting up the Fat Boy wheel to the front end, but it is still working very well.

Excellent, I know about the spacing as i'll be throwing on a 21 incher, I was concerned about the neck itself. Thanx
