RE: Wow a lot has changed since I was away
Sorry Dbleagle 
The first thing I did when I got back on here was try and see if you posted any pics of your bike yet and I saw some. Wow that looks great! I know you used the Ame kit but what degree rake and over tubes did you get? I like the 39mm tubes, did you get yours chromed? It looks like you have the same apes you did before. Did it pull them closer to you with the chopper front end installed and is it too close? I'd like to see a pic with you on the bike to see how the bars sit.
That's about all the questions I have for you.

The sliders are chrome from HD... the trees are too that come with the kit...
I bought all new innards for the front end... springs, dampers, seals bushing.. the works... I did that to keep the original front end in tact... well minus the steering races which I would have to replace anyway...
Yeah... same apes... same risers...
It probably did move the bars back a tad.. but that's ok for me as it suits my riding position... but my arms are still in a position for control...
How's that???

Yea I guess those answers will do for now. You have the same rake as OFG's bike did but somehow yours just looks more stretched, maybe it's the black or the bars hmmm...
I'd still like to see a pic of someone on your bike though, preferably a good looking female. [8D]

Yeah, I'm still here
. We welcomed "Ron" - "The Punisher" to the ranks of Mod while you were gone. I think we banned all the trolls and trouble makers too. If you see any hanging around, let me know.
