Race DNA, Street Performance
For decades, high-performance race teams have pushed the limits of production-based motorcycles by tweaking geometry to gain an edge. Rather than cutting, bending, or modifying your frame, Cheater Trees™ deliver that same race-winning advantage—bolt-on and ready to dominate.
Born from a legacy of competition, American Suspension has been leading innovation since 1997, bringing race-proven technology to real-world riders. Designed, engineered, and made in the USA, these trees set the standard for performance, control, and race-bred confidence.
Fitment & Options
- Designed for Harley-Davidson touring models with precision fitment.
- 49mm Fork Compatibility – All Cheater Trees™ utilize 49mm fork tube bores for maximum performance.
- ’13 & Earlier Touring Models – Installing Cheater Trees™ on 2013 & older Harley-Davidson touring models requires upgrading to 49mm fork tubes for compatibility.
- Conversion Required – These trees do not support 41mm suspension components. If upgrading from 41mm forks, you will need to convert to 49mm, including addressing wheel spacing and proper fork setup for a seamless fit.
- Nacelle Compatibility & Key Mount Options – Available for customized applications.
Cheater Tree
Standard Cheater Set up includes a very beefy arched lower tree for maximum control. If you are drag racing you may want a very low front end for a better launch. Select the Drag Race option and you will get a thinner lower tree, so you can set the bike lower without interference.
