Sounded extremely educated to me. I do not believe you flunked high school.

I am a fanatic when it comes to things I am passionate about. I love motorcycles and I love to ride and work on them. As a result, I am always open to improvement as are most folks on this forum. Regardless of the type rider you are, you can learn alot from discussions like this one.

Well put! I bought my Glide new in 1990. It is my hobby, a project in perpetual development which I doubt I will ever finish. I have other bikes, but this one is just fine and I spend on it rather than replace it. I also enjoy spanking later Harleys and other brands!

Has anyone actually installed the CCE triple trees yet? I love the idea of it, but would like to hear someone's real life experiences. Thanks!

HD new idea

I guess that HD came up with a new, never thought of idea and put them in their new 2014's baggers. 49mm fork tubes and a clamping top triple tree. Who would have ever imagined this concept?

Took'em long enough Howard! I don't know of any other brand that used their old 'top hat' top tree system. The British brands that used a top hat bolt also used a tapered seat, so the fork tube was pulled into deep locking engagement. It's good to see that the factory are listening.....
