Pic request: 2" over forks on swingarm sportster

Anybody got pics of a swingarm evo sporty running 2" over forks? I've found a few pics of bikes w/ 4" overs and I like the look, but I haven't seen any w/ 2" over. I picked up a set of FXRT tubes (2 over for a sporty) for cheap, but now I'm thinking I might wanna go 4" over. Thanks

A buddy of mine, who is about as hardcore of a rider as they get, ya know what I mean. Anyways he had 4 over on his dyna and 14 inch rear suspension. This thing was gangbangin curb jumpin badass motherfucker. He ended up going down one night shortly after doing it on his was down his own street. He is convinced that its because of how high the center of gravity is. Granted there is stability in speed but i dont know, anyways just thought id share that.

It looks super tough though.

If you have stock tubes on your bike now....you could put a jack under your bike, loosen your triple clamps, slide the tubes down about 2 inches, tighten the bottom clamps up a bit, step back, hand on chin, and ponder the look.

Yeah, I guess that's a sure way to know what it'll look like on my bike. If my fork seal kit was already in, I could just go ahead and install the new tubes. I still like looking at pictures of other people's bikes, though.

This is a marvelous idea and I will do just that to ponder what size over I'd like to go with.

Wait, so you have the 2 over forks and are still running to the internet to find pics? Dude, not to be a dick but if you have the forks why dont you just go put them on and see how they look?

Waiting on my new seals to come in. And I really don't want my bike temporarily out of commission.
