23" front wheels and set up
Had a thought on those ebay trees. Didn't you say that these were used on choppers all the time?
If so, the Chopper has lass weight to contend with compared to a full dress. So definetly don't use on a bagger.
My $ 0.02 of course....

Well, Ultima is made in Korea. I'm not willing to possibly compromise the integrity of my ride to save a few bucks on trees. Not sure how anyone else feels about this but I prefer a tried and true product that is made here in the USA even if it costs a lot more as that way I am supporting my own economy and getting a better product. Sure anyone can get someone overseas to knock off a high quality made in the USA product to bring a cheaper product to market however this product is never as nice and never functions as well as the original.
Working in this industry you see all kinds of stuff and it seems the lesson that has been learned many times over is get the good part that costs more first and you do not end up having to buy the better part later on down the road when you discover that what you got is not going to work well. Sure, you save a little money off the bat but you end up spending more later on which is counterproductive in all ways.
Just my opinion.

I didn't mean to offend, just was out drinking with the wife and a Commercial came on with a chopper and I had the thought. My thinking was maybe people were / might 7se the Chopper trees on a bagger. That's all that I meant.
This thing is soooo DOPE!!!!!! what is stock and what is aftermarket... the front wheel fender and the bags I know...what else?
