Well work (Home Depot) called today, said it was slow, didn't have to come in. So this is what I did!! Dropped the front down 2 inches. Guess I did good, didn't have any parts left over.

wow, nice man. i like what you got going on there on top of the head light. never seen that before. pretty sweet.

 

Looks good! Love those wheels!

 

Good job!

 

Looks good, where did you get that giant windshield?

 

National Cycle, fly screen. They have the dark smoke and clear. As I recall it was about $100.00. J&P Cycles carries them. Looks pretty cool but basically useless really. This is about the third adjustment I have made in the angle of the screen and this seems to be the best so far.

 

Thx for the heads up. I might get one for my FXWG

 

Yea, I added the same fly screen to mine in the spring. Doesn't do much except maybe block a little wind off the chest, but I think it looks good on the bike.

 

I used the Arlen Ness custom dampers, $49.50. Bought them from Real Hog, J&P Cycles also has them. You use your stock springs with them. I did notice today a little clunk in the front when I hit some bumps. I wonder if the stock springs are too soft with the 2" drop? Is it bottoming out? Could I put a spacer in there to lift the front a little?

 

How much fender clearance do you have at full compression? If you're hearing a clunk you are bottoming out. We used to use short lengths of PVC tube to increase preload. I don't know if a Softail has cartridge forks, if it doesn't I'd start with 3/4" of spacer and work up from there.
