How about 11 to 11 1/8 inches from the flat part of the fender lip to the center of the axle. (brake side, on stand, 1/2 gas, empty saddle bags). Sorry its almost 1 am and everyone is in bed, so no help!

I have an '05 Heritage Classic with 1100 miles - should be close to stock heights. Would the tech manual give ride heights?

Anything else?

What does your bike measure?
