WHY on earth would you do that to a nightster!?

Sorry, but I honestly don't see that turning out very well....just my opinion.

Long front ends with out stretched front frame rails is really a design and proportion nightmare. It just looks odd in my point of view.

In the example you have posted of the bike with extended forks and raked clamps you have a geat example of very poor length to hight proportion. If you are going to change the design of a anything
you must understand design to start with. It is really easy to make thing worse real fast.

+1 Go look at Sugar Bear's bikes... http://www.sugarbearchoppers.com/ ....then look at a Sporty with nothing but raked trees and longer tubes....you'll get the idea.&nbsp\\; It takes alot of work to ONE do that right, and TWO make it look good.

Ive never been a fan of stretched out bikes, looks goofy to me.&nbsp\\; Especially with these bolt on rake kits.
