Who's got the info on what I need to do a plus 2" front end aside from the fork tubes and cartridges? Is it that simple? New fork seals, oil, tubes and cartridges? I'll leave off the cans and get gold forks. Far more stylish. Thanks.
If you have an actual parts list that'd be great too. I prefer to shop for items individually if necessary to save some $.
Pretyy sure that is correct but Im following too. I know stock dyna 49mm tubes are +2 for us touring guys. Im short so cant decide if I want to do it or not lol

I'm short too but height of a bike is pretty irrelevant to me. As long as my toes touch the ground I'm good. Typically I ride alone so no passenger weight to worry about. Once the bike is off the stand it is balanced by me. I dunno if the M8's are the same as the twin cams but mine is a special and it seems super low in the front stock. Any mod that creates additional ground clearance is a plus in my book. I run a full length pipe and will not go to a short so my 13" shocks are all I can do in the back. Ok, who has the answers to this question?

Yeah I hear ya, my dyna and fxr are +2 and its awesome. But stopping loaded 2-up with the RG is a different story lol. Still going back and forth.
I have 13.25" ohlins on the rear now. I think I'd only go +2 in the front if I went to 14s or higher....with your 13s, I think itll be weirdly high in the front if you go +2. I havent seen anyone do that yet.
I was considering going +2 and then sliding the tubes up in the tree a bit so its really +1"....something to consider I Guess.
Figured I would ask here first. I see a few bikes running Galfer rotors. Doing the brakes on my '12 Road King soon so I'd like to take the opportunity to upgrade.
Debating between Galfer wave, Arlen Ness 14" rotor kit or Arlen Ness Jagged/Drift rotors, leaning towards the Ness 14" because of the larger rotor size vs 11.8 for the other 3. Any feedback from people here that have upgraded brakes?

Here is the invoice from when I just had BBP 2" setup installed. It was the first time it was mentioned to me that I needed them.
Thanks for the info. My only reason against the 14" rear is that I do not want to go to a shorty pipe. I dislike everything about shorter exhaust pipes. We'll have to see if they grow on me. By the way, I also hate my stretched factory bags. Help me find someone with a scorched orange, flat black with an ultra who wants to trade. Spent some time on FB and the only guy who wanted to trade had a 2020 which is a different color on the part of the bike that mine is flat black. Should be a simple find...but not so much thus far.

I'm running 14" rears with Rinehart duals. I just had to increase the dent that's in the back of the pipe so the axle would clear.
How does everyone listen to audio? Helmet/ audio setup? Currently have the Simpson Speed Bandit with Cardo Freecom 4+ It's not bad but wanting to look at better options. Anyone using just headphones connected to the Boom GTS
