came up in a google search about harleys scraping floorboards. Turns out the internet's all kinda connected like that. Who knew?

Bought mine from my local dealer here in The Netherlands but here's a link which is probably more useful to you:

I turned up the preload and put 30 weight oil in the forks.
Did not like the ride. Went to 20 weight and can live with it.
Still scrape but less.
