I need some help from you V Rod owners please.
I am building a project ride with a 08 V Rod front end :smiled:
I have to build a custom set of triple trees to suit a 92 FXDC :chop:
The only thing I don't have is a front wheel (yet) as I am undecided on 19" or 21" wire, hence the measurements.
I already know my neck angle is 32 degs
V Rods have neck angle of 34 degs & fork angle 36 degs
A 3 degree rake >> adds 2" to the over all wheel base and retains a 19" wheel.
A 5 degree rake >> adds 4" to the over all wheel base and accepts a 21" wheel to maintain ground clearance.
What I need to know is;
1) measurement between centre to centre fork tubes.
2) length of the steering stem (triple trees) if possible, or top of top tree >> bottom of bottom tree will suffice.
3) measurement between top tree and axle centre.
The measurements have to be as accurate as possible either inch's or mm's is fine, thanks
Pictures represent 1000 words, pictures would be nice, if possible, I would be very grateful :up:
use the setup from late model dynas alot easier 2005 and up used the 49mm legs
Thanks for the reply Hal64hd.
The reasons I opted to go this way are;
1) the dual Brembo set up
2) I am running a S&S 114ci
or are you referring to the triple tree set up? which I did not think about.
I have a friend that used the dyna trees with the V-Rod lower leg,s and is running the dual disc. He had to play around with the spacers for the right offset, and works great
so your saying that the 2005+ trees with 49mm tubes will bolt up to my 92 dyna neck.
This would be the best news I've had in a long time.
This would save me a whole lot of dramas ... :up:
If this is the case, making spacers to get the correct off set is a walk in the park.
