RacingJake - How did you get the 5 degree cups to work. I went to put a set on today and it looks like the neck has to be ground down more than the material that is there allowing the new angle for the stem. Right now, the bike is torn apart while I figure out what the heck I'm going to do.

THANKS!!

Thanks for the help. I realized the neck is totally different from your 01 to my 09.

Good Luck, hope you can get it to work.

I checked the web site for the cups I bought and it's listed only for 88 to 04 frames.

They are from V-Twin manufacturing and I bought them from Steel Thunder, saved a few bucks on shipping. You'll need to check with them to see if they fit your year?? My kit was # 24-1285 for 88-04 Sportster's.

For me the 5 degree kit took alittle bit of work, cutting and filing just to let you know.
