Default Raising My Deluxe
I bought my Deluxe used with a couple of thousand miles on it. The previous owner lowered it with an Arlen Ness lowering bolt kit. Does anyone know where I can buy the regular stock bolts to bring it back to stock height?

Thanks!

What is wrong with getting them for the HD store?

Can't you just adjust it and raise it back up?

The Ness bolts are adjustable. You can easily raise it to where you want it which may end up being 1/2" lower than stock?....Why would you replace the bolts?

Yep, just remember that the bolts work just the oppisite of what you think they should. You have screw the bolt in to raise the bike and extend the bolt to lower the bike.
