FYI: try it out at speed to make sure it's all good. My buddy noticed a considerable shake above 70-75mph when he went to a 23" on his fatboy, below that it was smooth as silk. He went with the HHI rake kit and had it lowered 2" as well. Right now it is under the knife again to see if they can straighten it out. He also is adding 1/2" back in to the front-end as he bottomed out a few times and scratched his new stretched nacelle.
Hey bro,

Thanks for the heads up today i rode her into work at about 100 mph everything was ok.. Just trippin on the new fender we will see.

This bike has a 103 in it goes but i did find out that this big wheel can slow me down!
