Used to do the neck rake thing on my older Harleys, but that was back in the day I built choppers out of everything I could get my hands on, Actually, 7-8 months ago I saw a set of Harley adapter trees for Roadstars, but I can't find the info, or the website I saw them on. Seems like they were built by a well known tree supplier, but, I just can't remember who. Short term/long term memory loss. I'll keep looking, and if I find the info, I'll post it.   Logged     \"I could have missed the pain, but I\'de have had to missed the dance.\" gb\"the dance\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #229128 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3364 Re:raked trees 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Here is a company that will make a set of Harley adapter trees. It says it at the bottom by the middle picture but they are for the 39mm front ends. Someone needs to swap over there Yamaha style trees so that I can get them.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #229180 Crash369 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 400 Re:raked trees 2 Years, 7 Months ago   http://ardcorechoppers.com/ You may have to call him his name is John. It is bearings with the 1" sleeve in them. if you run a blind tripple tree as I did you have to machine about 1/4th" on the lower tree to clear the R* larger neck bearing, with a wide glide style you just need the bearing kit. I think it was about $90.   Logged     You Gotta Be Tough If Your Going To Be Stupid![/b]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #229189 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard. It's harder if yer' stupid(J.Wayne) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4599 Re:raked trees 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I'm told that the R* neck is considerably longer in comparison to an HD setup. But, you can have the R* stem and existing bearing mounted into an HD tree to fit the R* neck properly. I'm betting that is all the adapter kit is, stem and bearings. Does that sound right?

We were going to supply the kit with 5 degree over Triple Trees like we do our Harley trees. We were planning on providing either Trees to fit our air forks or Trees to fit stock legs. Do you guys think there will be a big market for Harley conversion Trees? It almost seems like to small of a niche to investigate... but who knows.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #229312 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4348 Re:raked trees 2 Years, 7 Months ago   If you could somehow adapt the trees to work on several bikes, as you did the Tricky Air shock, you might be able to sell enough. Maybe just changing the stem length and somehow making the stops work. If they are specific to the R*, I don't see enough of a market. By the way, the Tricky Air shock was a great hit at the bike show, and was probably the reason that I won! I rode up, shut off the engine, stepped off and dropped her to the ground. Instantly there was a crowd wanting to see it done again. I wished I had the remote right then.

Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:raked trees 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Paul Tell me something. With the Tricky air ride what does that do to your stock ride height. At full pressure does it raise the height over stock or keep it about the same?? Danny   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
