Triple Trees
Ok guys 1958 FLH. Do these trees look right for the year. Most of all does the bottom tree look like its been tampered with?

Re: Triple Trees
Yes, the bottom tree has been tampered with. As bad as the factory welds sometimes look, they ain't that bad.
Also, I think that is a rigid tree since it is round at the bottom and not oblong. Might have that backwards?

Re: Triple Trees
Here's a couple shots of the 1958-59 lower tree I have. More pics available if needed.
From what I recall, it's a two-year part, just 1958 and 59. Changed again in '60.
The one posted above is -60 and later, I believe. Notice the difference in the underside.
