Default need to raise frontend
I've got a 2000 FXD that I have installed 14" Ohlins on the rear. Will I possible run into issues with the new rake/trail geometry? Is there a way increase the height of your front end? I've got Works Performance fork cartridge inserts, fwiw.

Thanks,
Scoop

Drop the forks in the trees
Longer forks (CCE) (or HD FXDWG forks)
Larger tire diameter

Rake & Trail calculator

I would put 2 inch over tubes on the front and call it a day. You're at plus 1.5 on the rear so 2 over up front would make it sit really nice.

Would the cartridges that I have work in the longer tubes? Could I just cut some 2" longer pre-load spacers?

Thanks much.
