I purchased the Fix My Hog DVD and found it exceptionally helpful. I recommend it highly to others. I am in the process of changing out fork tubes on a 2000 Electra glide Classic, because I am converting it to a trike. I have purchased raked triple trees (5 degrees). Besides the schematic in the service manual, do you have any technical advice when installing the new longer fork tubes into the lowers? I think that a segment on this would be interesting on a DVD. BTW, can you tell me what the degree of rake is on the FLHTCI frame?
Thanks – Frank
Hi Frank,
The only experience I have with trikes is with Lehman trike conversions. I am sure they have a web site and can answer all your questions. Stock rake of the FL self centering can be found on Hawg Halters( HHI’s) web site. Wrench Safe, FMH
The fork lowers on a TriGlide are also longer than on a 2-wheel FL. You may have to change yours over.
I found that out when shopping for aftermarket lowers. Couldn’t find anything for Tri’s, ended up powdercoating my stock ones.
As stated above, HHI has a wealth of info on their site, including a chart showing fork angles and what rake to use for different wheel diameters for 2- and 3-wheels.
