ahhh, someone didn't stop and think that their 883 standard forks are raised up a bit more than the low low nightster.

I was hoping they would stretch out a little further, but they don't

Yes, they are, but they keep dirt out of your forks. I have them because I ride on gravel/mud road every day. After&nbsp\\;only 1000 miles, I drained my fork oil and it was dirty.

&nbsp\\;If ya want to lower it, I have the stuff you need. I just raised my nightster in the front. To lower the back on yours ,I'd use the heavy progressives. They'll work good for two up.

Uh, why not just get some shock covers from Rancho and cut them to whatever length you need?

I found these, kind of expensive, but they look nice and seem to be longer and you have the choice of 39 or 41mm, not sure what the sporty is.

I tried to fix it, but you have to remove the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\; to make the links work, I pulled them out and the site put them right back in for me.
