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
is a great product
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.
