Gold Boarder Posts: 728 Re:harley front end on roadstar ???? 6 Years, 11 Months ago   That is the same fork legs I used on my 02, At the time they didn't have all of these packages that thaey have now, They only had a couple of people making the raked trees. I ordered that front end minus the trees either from Jireh or Vtwin catalog. I also got a 21" twisted spoke chrome rim from them. They were a little cheaper and more choices than what was availiable through metric suppliers. I think a lot of the metric suppliers get their parts for stuff like this from Vtwin or Jireh.

I believe american suspension are now do bearing kits to fit the harley trees. i did do a bike for a guy that ended up being a god awful rush job, but when people get pushy they get what they get. I've add a pic of it i hope   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1007419 Batty381 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 17 Re:harley front end on roadstar ???? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Try Again   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1007430 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:harley front end on roadstar ???? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Batty381 wrote: Try Again That,s one messed up Road Star   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1007465 RedneckRoadie (User) Hold my beer and watch this....

Wise words here Yes, as long as the triples are NOT raked. You can't change the length of a stem on raked triples without misaligning the fork tube openings. Most HD stems are shorter than a Roadstar. Too bad too, there are several raked triples for HDs that cost a fraction of the same thing for a Roadstar. :: HD Raked Triples on eBay ::   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/04/13 16:56 By BubbaKahuna.   This fits in here, right? I mean, I can make this fit in here ... right?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
