I know what you mean. Most run 5 degree trees with 6-8 over legs. So if he has 3 degrees trees with stock length legs his lower rails are on the ground. Lol. And from everything Ive found his trail is somewhere around 6 inches with 3 degree trees.

Yep and he stated this is a 4 up frame. I have 7 degree trees right now with 6 over tubes on my 4 up. But changing to 5 maybe 4 degree trees. 4 seems like to much trail.

-id leave the 7* on for a season

-i liked the 0* on my 2up alot...changing to 3* 'ONLY' because its a trade [old stuff]

-if i dont diggitt, swapem back...the trail calc. said 0* was no good...i loved them tho ???

-food for thought i guess

-prolly best to start a new thread...depends the frame you have

-0* or 3* on a 4up would look like paul sr.s old school bikes [hi + smashed in] lol lol

My 7 trees are WG and I don't agree think it's to wide for a 200mm bike going with midglide

If you're changing to a mid glide let me know if you want to sell that front end.

Well I believe with a 9" rear fender your tank should be close to that not 12" like a stock villian. I plan on narrowing a villian to 9-10" wide. The mid glide trees. To have a perfectly balanced looking bike! Trees are spoken for as of right now if not I'll let you know Cole.

I didn't take an over all measurement after I cut and put a new thread in the end of my tubes. When I take it apart after mock up i can get you an exact measurement. There is approx. 18 3/4" long sticking out of the fork slider.

My trail calculation was just under 6" .
The front end was bought off the chopperdogs site. They came with 8 degree WCC trees that I decided not to use because I did not like the long front end. I then bought the 3 degree trees that were also used off of the chopperdogs site and altered the tubes to the length I needed.
