Thanks I just took a ride on it and it rides good! It feels a little longer at low speeds but I hit a ruff road and all is good! I lost a little brake with the single side but the 13" rotor helped I think because I did not loose much. The seat is a FBI drop seat kit

"Sweet"... You got that bad boy looking "BOSS" there sense last week when you showed me the wheel still in the box and the front end all torned down. That's what i call not messing around and getting the job done. Can't wait to see it in person, Great job Boogie..

I did my bike a couple of months ago with the trike trees. I had a 21" on it before. There's no comparison as to how much better the bike handles. I also put the screamin eagle fork oil in the lowers. I have no I speed wobble at all. As others have said you will have. I've had mine up to 100 mph and no problems. The only regret that I have now is that I wish I would've went to a 26".

Nice looking bike there, 4boogie! How do you like the drop seat? Did you change the bars? Just wondering if you felt you needed more pullback with the seat back aways? I've got my drop seat kit and can't wait to get it on the bike this winter.

Thanks for the info. I'm 6' with 35" sleeves. Just wondering how tall you are for reference. The bars for me now are just a tad short and could use an inch or two or more of pullback. I had touring pullbacks on the last bike and I thought they were perfect. Just figured, with the new seat/frame kit, that it might cause me to want different bars (I guess I just need an excuse, right? LOL).

Im 5'-10" I like the way they feel but if you feel you need a inch are 2 on the stock setup this drop seat will only make it a little worse. Wish you were close I would let you try it out.
