instead of dropping the front for a 21?
So no issues with the front fender hitting the lower tree cover? Thanks for all the pics! I’m gonna do this.
Did you need spacers for the fender? And where is the best place to get the Reinforcer?
It wont, bike looks good.
If you want to know how I figured out how many bump stops to use, I had the forks up 3/4" like the above but I decided to go with polished lower sliders. So I bought the lowering springs because I would have the forks apart. I left the springs out, put the forks on the bike without the upper covers (cowbells) installed the fender and slid up till the fender was 1/4" away from hitting, measured the distance between the lower slider and the bottom of the tree....3 bump stop spacers.
Have ridden two up AND had to hit the brakes hard....no dent in the fender.and it has never felt like a solid hit from hitting the stops. I used the 1" drop springs. Actually wound up with about 3/4" clearance.
As far as the fender hitting with the forks moved up with the stock springs you are fine.
NOTE: if you order the stops you will need 2 of the flat sided bump stops to account for the screws that hold the upper covers on.
