No the guy with the Super Glide does not have Progressive fork springs ? When I said his bike was higher I mean't that the dimension between the bottom of his triple tree and the top of his fork leg was greater then mine and that's the static bike sag only and Iam using the full spacer with the Progressive springs. If I preload my front anymore then my bike is going to steer even slower. Do you think sliding the forks into the trees more will help the situation ?

Thanks >>>> Inthered

Slide the forks into trees more and you'll have less distance.

Sorry I see a Low Rider trying to be a Fat, Wide and Glide. Should have saved your money and bought a Super Glide. The money you saved would have customized that bike.

I don't think so, if you factor in just the wheels and chrome that I would have to add to the Super Glide I think Iam way ahead money wise.
