Also, I think you will kill the resale of the bike--I mean--it's much easier to sell a Harley that has had "non-destructive" mods then one that has been butchered. The MoCo did not do all those years of R&D for nothing;they know what works better than you do, and their "line" are the most aesthetically pleasing in the business. Why Fork with it? Leave it alone, get over this "trendy" mod crap & ride it.

OR...
If you can't leave well enough alone, get adjustable trees. And keep your frame intact.

Because individuality and not fitting the mold is what's at the heart of being a biker. I'd put my welds up against anything that was done on a production line. If you don't like it you can change it back.
