Hey, Jo!
I know I’m a little late, but I found this thread just today.
This 26’ looks awesome, good choice.
I can’t wait to see more pics from the ongoing project.
What rake do the new trees have and did you lower the front forks?

Hey Rob! How's things in your neck of the woods?
The trees are 6 degrees and the forks are -1 under plus a 2 inch drop in.

Looks good bro! I was at Jay's house when he was working on your Rocker. He was working on my bagger at the time. Always wondered what a 26" rim would look like on a softail.

Thanks bro! That's my bikes 2nd home. LOL It stays there until he gets sick of working on it, then it's at my house again. Lol
I was telling him I was thinking of giving you one of my helmets and let you go crazy on it. You got some Sik poly skillz bro. You got any finished pics of your ride? You had the black wheel from hogpro ya?

Jo, thanks for the technical details. Would be interesting to know, how the bike rides with that 6° rake.
Please tell me, when everything is finished.

I am fine, riding season here is almost over.
Now thinking about my next winter mods.

Jo, good luck with that hurricane bro. That thing looks serious. Put the bike up on a lift somewhere in case you get flooding

Very cool.

Interested in some up-to-date pics.

Am also curious if it effects the rake.

Did you ever look into it?

Thanks buddy. It's tracking south of me sooooo hopefully all the damaging effects stay to the south. It should be around my island sometime tomorrow. Again thanks for the thoughts bro.
