why not use a buggy wheel..you could get a couple horses pulling it..would be good on fuel..and good for the environment

 

I'm a fan if done right and I know it's not practical. That is obvious, but it's all about a look and stretching the boundaries. That is the basis for many modifications.

Out of Arizona. If you look them up on Youtube you see the owner of the company "surfing" this bike and doin a "peace-sign" burn out.
Hes makin 30" front wheel baggers...

Ive been intrerested in those "drag" bars he puts on the roadglide...

 

Bolt on Rake kit by HHI (They said it doesnt work on a 98 but it did) rides great, rides daily, no problems other than not being able to answer to all the thumbs up!!!!)...Go hard or go home is what i say...Most talk down on what they dont like and have every excuse in the world not to do it..If they tell you that it cant be done (it can)...step outside the box and make it happen....

 

26" on a bagger looks sick! I prefer a 23" on a softie

 

I always say what makes a Harley yours is how you like it not how everyone else does so do whatever you enjoy.

 

Well put and agreed..

 

My buddy went with that set-up on his 2010 Street Glide (A lot of people we talked to raved about how good it will ride, too) and I must say you may want to reconsider it. He pretty much ruined a nice bike in terms of rideability. He hates it that it is finished, and trying to decide to go back with the stock tree and a 21 or sell the bike. The first tree they sent had to be replaced because the bike would wobble above 70 mph, and they replaced it. The new tree does not have the wobble, but it rides like crap and handles like a tank. IIRC, his tree was an HHI. We have had it apart it a couple of times, and tried to find something we missed, but everythng was right. It is insane how heavy those tires and rims are, and I don't know if that has a effect on it, but it is not at all fun to ride.

I'm not at all trying to rain on your parade, but I'd hate to see someone else make their bike useless besides looking cool sitting a parking lot.

 

How much rake did you go with? We talked to several other people at Thunder Beach this year that experienced the same thing my buddy's bike is doing. Even after they sent the "fixed" set of trees, it is still a tank.

 

I dont think just trees is the key.. You have to cut and rake the neck also to get the trail just right.. And in my eyes I would not just cut it in the garage floor.. Get a frame table so you know you have everything where it needs to be.. I know venders sale these neck cut kits with metal and a paper templet but I am annal about measurements when you are dealing with two wheels hitting the pavement at the right angle.
