My raked trees !
Hey guys,
Well i finally said screw it and ordered my 5 degree raked trees.
I bought the Hawg Halters Narrow glide 5 degree in chrome.
Before you say, wow your ride will suck, i actually rode a friends bike with the same trees and i was impressed.
I am also buying the chrome lower fork sliders, that will go great with the chrome trees and my chrome rims.
Will post pics when i get them.
My next project, around July, will be rear air suspension from arnott air ride.
Keep checking for pics, they should be here soon.

Very nice, I'm going for the mid glide in either 3 or 5 degrees, plus the six spoke wheel from Harley. My other option is buying a Night Train which I'm looking into.

I hear ya Ace. I wanna do at least a mid-glide front end, but I'll have to wait for a whilealso. I'm waiting for an answer as to whether a slight rake (3*) or so would require longer fork tubes.

RE: My raked trees !
i like the look of the narrow glide for the sportster.
my opinion is that the wide glide may be too wide for the sportster, but thats just me.
My friend's bike had no extensions, but wasnt lowered in the back like mine.
Since mine is lowered, i think it will look bad ***.

HHI actually gives you back an inch with their fork caps they use that screw on top of your tubes
