Unintentional Lowering
Just had the 1" lowered Axeos installed on my 15 FLHR and it obviously lowered the front end. Problem is i didn't order the lowered version (sent by mistake) and didn't look that closely when I had a dealer do the install. I have the 13" Revo-A's on the back end. Would swapping out the back for 12" shocks do the trick as far as levelling out the lowering of the bike or is there anything else that would have to be done?

Just get the right parts? You'll be out the labor for the install, but that's probably still cheaper or at least comparable to buying new shocks, and you'll be happier with your bike set up how you want it.

Maybe I'm wrong here but can't you just use longer spacers at the top of the fork springs to get the 1" back? I would try it anyway before I spent a lot of money trying to compensate.

Let me clear something up......I'm not expecting the dealer to come good for another install! I got the Axeos from another supplier; so it's their error! There's nothing wrong with the install; in fact I had the HD dealer do a chrome kit on the front end at the same time. My question is- if I leave the front end as is, lowered (which I'm leaning towards); is it as simple as swapping out the rear 13" shocks for a set of 12" shocks (the rear shocks are from the same supplier as the Axeos on the front end)?
