2017 Sportster 48 Front Fork Question
Hey guys and gals, I have this idea and I wanted to share it with y’all. I have a 2017 Sporty 48. It has 49mm fork tubes, the second year of this design. I am trying to build a modern version of a 70’s era sporty, and I’m trying to go with a longer fork tube to give it a taller stance in the front with a skinnier tire. If my theory is correct, can I use 49mm tubes from like a dyna or something?

So where are the PIXs? Of you? Your bike? You and your bike? Your girlfriend? Your girlfriends tele #? Hey, I tried....
This “Welcome Area Only” section is for, well, welcoming only. Like, introducing yourself and what Harley (hopefully Harley) you ride.
Stuff you are talking about up above in your OP (Original Post), needs to go to the proper and more relevant area to get our rider’s input.
In the UPPER LEFT corner, just take your mouse and ROLL OVER “Forums” and come down to the section (or subsection) that you feel is most appropriate. It is that easy.
Thank you my friend for understanding.
It is GREAT to have you here with us.
Warmly & Respectfully,

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
