Never seen specs on height's..
Maybe find another stock bike like Urs in Ur area and compare and or measure it to Urs.
Wouldn't think one would mess with a springer front end....

Can you lower a springer front end? If so how? seriously!...lol...I've always wondered about it. I'm very dumb when it comes to a springer. But man i would love to have one.
I know there are springer front end rake kits available... And those will lower the front end...But will give your bike a different look/raked stance.

They sell complete 2" under springer front ends. Every once in a while you'll find them on Flea-Bay that someone bought and decided it was too much and went back. You might get them cheap but good luck, everything springer has a premium.

Under the top set of springs there will be a machined solid spacer about 1-1/4" long that looks like the springs. The front of the rocker will also have a nose up attitude.This is lowered.G.

Nice thanx for posting!! Now it makes sense to me also... I must say i do definately like how the "rounded" factory springer front end looks (like the one pictured above) compared to those "squared" after-market springer sets look. Makes a huge difference in appearence.
