Can't take a picture, sorry took it back off to take to powder coat in the am...... But from the forks to the caliper is an adjustment rod, had to play with it till it lined up where I wanted it and it looked the way I wanted it to. also had to make a collar to fit in the hole on fender base and add a longer bolt to join it all together.

Okay I see yours, it looks to be a solid bracket...... Mine is adjustable. It opens from 4" to 6" from fork to caliper.

It looks like a X Bones still has the rod .... #13
But it's not adjustable .... had to reread your post before it sunk in.

Thanks, I have searching for a rod like that but could find anything close thought I would have to make my own.

Default Lost Again

Okay Question of the day. I know that some people are like me we write almost everything down, my question is has anybody ever measured the bottom spring length with front tire on the ground and with it lifted up ? Okay lets forget for a second the fact of it being a paughco springer. with tire on the ground I get 6 5/8" with up off the ground I am getting 7 3/8" . I also noticed with on the ground I can move the bottom spring by hand with a little bit of effort. any help would be great.
