I have 4* wide glide trees. Forks are at stock height to maintain the 1.5" overall drop.

The ride is not really any different other than need more room to make tight turns (parking) due to longer wheel base, but easy to get used to.

The wide glide flows with the wide swing arm & the rake (in my opinion) looks great on the Rocker.

I can't recall, it's been a few years. They are not cheap, but the quality is second to none.

You may want to phone Rich if you don't get an e-mail response.
