No problem happy to help, if I could do it over I'd go chrome on everything but I didn't.
P.s. waiting on labriola...

If I didn't live next to the ocean I'd have spokes already lol. I think it would take the rocker to a different level!

So here is my dumb question of the day. I found a set of wheels that I want but all they have is wheels for wide glides. Kinda wanted to widen the front anyways so I figured why not do it now. I found the wide glide triple trees that HHI has which come with the 5 degree rake. Besides an axle what else do I need?

You'll need a new lower neck bearing and pull the bearing race from the neck

bearings here: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/230-411
and replace the bearing race with a pro one internal fork stop kit 103413
fork stop found here: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/221-351

If you order through hhi they can include the fork stop when they ship the trees not sure about the neck bearing(s) you can just replace the bottom bearing and leave the top if you want or replace both. I replaced both (fml thats a lot of grease). Your bottom bearing is pressed onto the lower triple tree so its a pita and easier(also cheap) just to replace the bearing.
