A HD in the rain? How is that possible? I also could clearly hear the stereo over the pipes. That don't make no sense!

Ape Hangers aren't unstable for doing what Harleys do best which is riding in a straight line at 65 MPH. :hurr:

With the fat front tire on my bike, there is a lot of stress on the forks when riding twisty roads. After a couple of days at Deal's gap, my fork seals were shot, same thing happened the next year.

Looked around and couldn't find any 41mm wide glide fork braces that I really liked, and the prices were ridiculous, so I figured I could redneck something together that would help.

Some 1/4" steel, a hole saw, an angle grinder, some steel tubing and threaded rod, this is what I came up with.







While I was at it, I changed out the sliders, completely rebuilt the forks and did a brake job.

Now to take it back to Deal's Gap and see if it helps!
Wouldn't it be better to put the stock tire back on?

It just seems to me that blowing fork seals for something that supposedly rides better and looks better seems horribly unsafe to me. Thinner tires means more grip for cornering. Thicker tires is for riding in straight lines.

To each their own. Just stay safe.
