Restoring a lowered Softail
I have a Softail that I think is lowered. Since I am 6'2" I don't need a short bike and do not like the lessened ground clearance. How do I get it back to standard height?

Depends how it was lowered...if they used bolts or changed the shocks in the back?
reversing the lowering should not be a problem...change the shocks in the back, or exchange the lowering bolt back to a regular bolt, and for the front fork if they lowered that too, I think you will need the original springs again.

Maybe yours is like mine. I have adjustable bolts in my shocks, and can adjust from stock to 2" lower. Only takes a few minutes, and I can do it on the kick stand. Does take short wrenches and a spanner to fit the shocks. I made my own spanner.
