Well it did mb! Bike's home now!!! :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

It rides unbelievable now. You'd never know you're riding a solid mount! You think Traxxion's great on an FLH, try it on a street bike!!! Holy crap! AWESOME!!! :2vrolijk_21:



Great news Howie. Here's to hoping 09 starts right for you and all your scoots!

Very sweet pics indeed Howie. You even have me grinning like a Cheshire cat at the thought of how you must feel with your babies tucked up in your garage. All you need now is for Cybil to make her return and you will be complete (hope your garage can fit them all in).

Happy New Year to you and Binx............hope youze have a great one.

Hoist, went to the traxion site and it appeared they did not have a front end for wide glides. Did they do a custom setup for yours? I see you are a big fan of their products and I can understand the big advantage on a touring bike but would be interested in your feedback on the benefits on a wide glide. Is it worth the $$$'s?

They can do a conversion on just about any front end conventional hydraulic front end. Just call and ask for Dan. Same price too. Not custom for them, but I don't think any HD guys have done anything but FL's besides me! And as it turns out, it's even better on a street bike mb!!! :2vrolijk_21:

When you say better, do you mean safer, better performance in turns, stopping?? How do you notice the difference and what do you experience versus stock front end?

The ride and the dive. I seem to glide over the same highway cross ties I used to leave my seat on with the stock front end. And the dive during handling is all but gone. Very controlllable now. It's also more plush at the same time. This is in conjunction with the bitubo's in the rear. I didn't try it with just the AK-20's in the front. But the AK-20/bitubo combo is the best I've ever felt on any HD! :2vrolijk_21:
