Got a couple partners run them on those trees , a bit on the big side for my tastes but they like them and they work well.

Twisted biker-is you front end shortened? My FLH sits like a chopper now with a Wide Glide front end. I'm wondering if lowering it two inches will do it? Will send pics.

No I'm running a 4" over inverted frontend on sig pic bike , I like the extra ground clearance. I tend to be an aggressive rider in the canyons around here once I raised her a bit I quit tearing up pipes & primary covers.

Harley 41mm turn signal relocation kit, and Kuryakyn 41mm fork clamps for the mini spots.
