This is what the Retro looks like with the 6 Degree Tree and the 11" Progressive shocks.

VTXkeeper,

Where did you get the 6 degree tree's? How much?

Thanks...

Got the trees from Hal at HDL. They were $795.00. I got the new style, the fork caps are covered with the top part of the tree. The forks can't slip up through. It took me a while to get the front end wobble out, but it was worth it. I love the look and the ride, don't pay any attention to the bad write ups about the trees. With the 11" progressives on the bike it lowered the bike about 2 to 2.5", so the running boards drag in the corners more than before, but that's ok too.

Cool! I was lookin' a few months ago and saw them on sale and then started lookin' again recently and heard all the bad write ups?

How much farther out does it put your front wheel?

And what about that wobble? How did you finally correct it? I had a high speed wobble that I barely pulled out of many years ago, very scarry stuff.

I like the look of more rake but I could not live with less cornering ability. It already drags the boards too early. I guess the solution is to also extend the forks so as to not lower the bike. Could you post a pic of what the top of the triple tree looks like?
