We just ordered a Frankenstein kit for our 07 Street Bob, and plan to install it in October. The plan includes extending the front end 6 inches and using raked triple trees. It looks like your front end is extended. How do you find the handling?
You will really love the Frankenstein conversion; it is beautifully made!
My fork tubes are a +3" over '10 - up Wide Glide, so they're 30". I'm using the stock Wide Glide trees and I don't find I'm having any problems with the handling. But, I have an example of one; this is my first trike. Maybe it does steer 'heavy' and I just don't know it :laugh: One thing I did do was to tighten up the fallaway somewhat and that made a difference in the stability during cornering and slow speed handling.
On my wish list is to look in to using trees to get more rake; but then I'll want longer fork tubes again. It's a vicious cycle, but for now I'm riding it as is and really enjoying it; I do wish I'd have done this conversion much sooner...
