Questions and Answer

Q. How much fork oil do I put in after swapping the tubes out?
A. Refill with the same amount & weight as stock. No extra oil is needed with the longer tubes.

Q. What if any special tools will I need, if I do the install myself?
A. The tool most people don't have that's a must have is a 14mm bit-drive socket. Not to be confused with a regular 14mm hex bit socket. A good torque wrench that goes to 150 lbs. is a must have too and on some models (like the 04 & up XL) a bearing race removal tool will come in very handy. (some customers have used a dremel tool to remove the race)?

Q. Someone told me, if I lower the rear of my bike that this would change the trail dimensions. Is this true?

A. The kits are complete with everything you need except fork seals & oil.

Q. Hi , I have been to two different bike shops today and I was told that the chopper kits are illegal here in Western Australia, the reasons being that in Western Australia you cant have a rake bigger than 38 degrees total, I rang the local licensing department and found that if I install one of your kits on my bike I will receive a work order and have to remove it . I am disappointed as I was looking forward to installing the kit.
A1) the rake of the frame isn't changed by the kit
A3) our kits have a different rake of the steering to the tube rake:
The 9° kit has an additional steering rake of 6°
The 14° kit has an additional steering rake of 9°
The 18° kit has an additional steering rake of 12°
So a Dyna Super Glide has 28° you can use a " 14° " kit. The Sportsters have 30° so there you can use a special " 13° "Kit. No problem to make a custom adapter like this.
