HHI wide glide tree questions
Well seems like I can't keep talking myself out of doing this so here it goes. After following Rollinburnout's thread i think I'm sold.
I wanna drop my old wheels and go with fat spoke wheels with a 23 up front. I know I'm gonna need a new front end if I do this. So I'm looking at these HHI wide glide trees. I know a lot of guys here are running them so hopefully I'll get some replys.
1- I have a 3 inch tank lift on my 08 rocker. I wonder if the trees are going to hit my tank. How much wider are the wide glide trees than the stock trees?
2- I have BR custom apes that I plan on keeping for a while (since they cost me an arm and a leg lol). I don't know if on wide glide trees the risers mount further apart than they do on the stock rocker front ends. If they do then I don't think ill be able to use my bars.
Thank you boys!!

I know a tank lift won't fit. Maybe a 1".
I believe the mounting points are the same, only springer softails have different mounting points

PM sent Alain. Mounting is the same on both but no tank lift. JoJo might be correct that a 1" might work but it would be really close. Looks like I've got a little less than an inch before it hits but I haven't bolted the tank in place yet either.
