Mine (99 DWG) were 32" UNLOADED (off the ground). Unfortunately, I don't have a record of the length with any sag.

Then I'd say he may want to get under it with a mirror and see if something broke or cracked the frame, welded 2 that gave out there on the mid mount like the dyna's. That wasn't one HD's brighter idea's.

Yep about the deceiving looks. The OP's bike looks like it's leaning way too far to the right, but his house looks like it's falling over to the right also. That being said, it sure looks like the forks are extended like everyone else said.

How long are the shocks out back? Eye to eye?

Also, you could probably raise the fork tubes in the triple clamps with out too much fan fare. Couple inches and try that.

You can't change the Tube position ... Top Tree does not clamp around the OD of the Tube
