Will lowering the bike close the hugh gap between the fender and the seat? If so...what are the odds of the fender hitting the seat causeing paint damage etrc.?

The other option is to buy new progressive shocks that allow you to lower it 0-2" and rides better. I bought mine at dennis kirk for 300 and change. Well worth it. Ride safe.

The only way around this is a) lowering the bike with either bolts, 422's or air ride, or b) going for a kit who's fender mounts to the swingarm and NOT the front part of the frame. Swingarm-mounted fenders can be mounted VERY close to the tire as it moves WITH the tire. HL makes a bobber kit for CB's and NT's but not sure if the Rocker kit fits to the swingarm or frame.

For those of ya'll that have lowered, are you scraping your pegs all the time? I have my rocker at stock height and am scraping mine in the turns all the time. Am I just being too aggressive in my turns? New to Harley and just riding how I feel comfortable.

So if i use the bolts there should be ZERO chance of the fender EVER hitting the seat...correct?

Sorry if I sound dumb...I just want to be positive before doing this.

I scrape pegs pretty often.
