Thanks! I haven't done anything too crazy yet since my rear tire is still pretty new. But so far she's been a blast ! Definitely prefer this set up over stock.

I had a custom set made by CognitoMoto. For the same price as Speed Merchant, they offered a custom tree with a new steering stem and bearings. Good quality stuff I'd recommend to anyone looking to go that route. Let me know so I can hit them up.
My next issue to tackle, is to find a way to fabricate a front fender that will compliment the build....
Cool. I almost swapped my trees and put cartridges in the forks but I went with an ODC Monza 2.0 (Mid Glide) inverted frontend. Still waiting for it, shipping from Italy.

Your front fender shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Seems like a few are doing the HCP risers too. I have the 9.5" w/ Lucky Daves bar.

I also wanted to go the ODC route, but they are just too much for me at the moment. I am glad that I'm a little different from the trend at the moment. lol

And it definitely shouldn't be. I have a few ideas I'd like to try. We'll see how that goes. lol

The HCP risers just look and feel solid, so I can see why most would buy them. Happen to have a pic of yours?

You might see a few ODC frontends out there but not many. LOL

Here's my thread. I've already changed my mind on a few things though.

Looks nice

Do you plan on covering up the fork tubes with guards? Unless you like to change for seals frequently.

So no gators/fork boots = frequent seal changes? I’d like to see that stat. Lol.

True that. I think I'm the only one running my set up so far. Next up is some legend's drop ins for me.

Noticed you bought your bike from SD HD too. lol Definitely looking forward to how your build unfolds bro!

I do plan to put something there eventually. Just a matter of when and with what. lol And I haven't heard of any inverted forks leaking due to that.

Yeah, I bought from SD Harley. Got a smokin' deal! I'm further north, but know a few down there at SD Harley.

Not sure about Legends though, unless you are talking cartridges.

Did the stock guards not fit back on?
