Default Springer ?
I'm getting ready to order my springer front end for my bike but, have a question about it before I order. I just bought burly rear shocks so should I go with a 2 under to match the rear or a 4 under? My bike is an 05 wide glide.

Recommend getting the dimensions from the springer you plan to install and do some mock up to learn what you are after. Also recommend running some rake/trail calculations.

Enjoy the project and be sure to make a post of your build.

Cheers
