Default 2003 Springer factory height

I bought a 2003 Springer a few months ago. It has one of those adjustable height kits installed. It’s lowered as much as it will go. I want to bring it back to factory height or close so I feel better about riding 2 up. Anyone know the stock height and where to measure?

Thanks.

It looks as if the rear is lowered 1” or so. The front looks to be stock . I will get a few measurements off my wife’s bike tomorrow. G.

It’s been lowered 1-3/4 rear only. Notice the space between the bottom of the fender strut and edge of the rim.

Ok. Looks great. Yes the pic I posted was after I raised it back up but I don’t know where to stop. Lol. That adjustable ride height is neat and very easy to do. Long as the bolts stay antiseized.

Owners Manual shows a saddle height of 25.80"

Where does it specify to measure “saddle height”?

The Owners Manual doesn't specifically mention where the saddle height measurement is taken from, but typically it's the lowest point of the saddle. Keep in mind the numbers in the OM represent the original equipment saddle.
