If you are lookin at the biker.com trees some have had alot of problems with them.
billski is going to have some available soon for around $500.also morton and sotmc has some.Im going with the 7 degree and Ive heard they are great and ride better than stock.The only downside is it is harder to turn around in tight spaces like in the garage.Most come with extensions and if you get the biker.com trees you would probably need to get some.
hope this helps

Whats been the problem with the biker.com trees? And how much difference would there be in 5 degree and 7 degree in moving the wheel forward? Thanks, God bless.

Ha, I knew that would be the answer I would get. What is the difference in the look and ride?

Biker.com have trail issues too . They just made trees with 5deg offset but did not account for trail by moving the mounting position of the handle bars . The flop and wobble at high speed . 7 deg trees look better in my opinion . They show the change more . 5deg is not quite as noticable .Gods bless . :happy:
