A little more stretch

[Oscar Maldonado]

How would one calculate the front end if you wanted to stretch it out?

A friend of mine has an H-D FXD model and wants to stretch it out a little. He would also like to install a bigger rear on it. I think he has a 160 or 180 on the back and would like to put a 200 on it.

I think there was a thread on this at one time, I can't seem to find it though. Any help would be appreciated.

I bet Al could answer this after changing out his front end. I'd be interested as i want to do it to my bike a little bit - a long way off for me though.

Have you googled it? The calculation for the correct trail etc must be on there.

Just google Harley Trail Calculator and you should have a few options.

Thanks Gents. I found one that can help him out.
