What would happen if I took a set of those Tri-Glide forks (+1.77") and bolted them onto my Electra-Glide?

the length is added below the trees, just pick up some 2" over tubes if that's what you're looking for

The tri glide has a lot more rake. Considering that, I suppose it's possible for the bars or fairing to slap the tank. Dunno.
