Default Quick question for the guys running the FL frontend...

I recently installed a 2000 Heritage frontend on my SuperGlide and the forks are "soft" causing the fender to hit the electronics mounted to the down tubes on hard bumps anyone else experince this?
Wondering if i just need to rebuild the frontend or what suggestions yall may have....
Also anyone whos tried the nacelle, did your top holes not line up as well?
What suggestions do you have there?

Tried to load pics but its not wotking on mobile version.
I'll load up some pics when I get back in front of the computer, maybe do a build thread.

ackman1968 tried the nachelle. Couldn't aim the headlight high enough. May depend on the trees you are using.
Your new forks are shorter than the Dyna's. Stiffer springs will help the ride more than heavier oil will.
