     Hi, guys just need some ideas on what can be done with a 1987 flht front forks and trees? The stock ones are opisite to a normal set up, like they are reverse. I want to do away with the big cowl at the front and put anything else on, but will the gap between tank and forks look silly? I can't find any info bout doing this, maybe people don't play with 87 flht's? Any ideas or tips would be apreciate, thanks

    get some tie downs an tie ya frame to jack that way ya can get the guard out an not dent it maybe ..you can trim the stops but as said above put tanks on first if you still find you not much turn you can put dyna wide glide trees on which will bring them forward an bit
