Those are true statements though. I'm wondering if your supposed to leave the stock hieght in front when you use the trike trees. That looks like a drop kit in the front. Looks fantastic as hell though. All kinds of money tied up in that driveway.

Yep, the guys are right. I hope you have travel limiters in your front forks or have extended your tubes, then lowered. I made it almost 1500 miles on mine before I hit a bump and crashed the front fender into the brake line on the bottom tree. I still haven't fixed the issue on mine, just take the bumps slow whenever possible. I'm planning on changing out the front fender when I put bags and rear fender on mine, so I'll change the front end when I tear it down again.
