It's a wideglide, 39mm tubes... it comes kit form from AME...

The lowers I got from Harley a long with new springs, seals... well all the innards of a front end...

Most people just take the stuff out of their old tubes and put the new one...

You save about $285 bucks by using your old stuff... me... I wanted it all new...

It took me about 45 min to build the tubes and about 10 to 12 hours to do the whole job...

I took a lot of breaks...
