When I bought my Night Train it was lowered and I could not corner on that thing at anything over a walking pace without scraping. I raised it up all the way and now I still scrape, but only the heels of my boots, not the bike.

to everyone, I finally got it figure out. I pull the shocks out and after some research it had what look like the arlen ness lowering kit on it. I pull the shock out of the spring bucket housing and set the adjuster to three turns out and reinstalled. I know I could had done it without taking shock apart but I was curious on how everything worked. I set the height adjuster nut all the way bottom and reinstall the shocks back on the bike. what a difference it made. I don't know how much it lifted it up (wish I had measure buefore I done this) But I can say that now I can see over the windsheild without sitting straight up. It handles road bump like a dream. overall I pretty well please with the results. I'm starting to fall back in love with this bike. Can't wait to take her to the tail of the dragon. she should handle pretty good for a crusier..Thanks everyone for your input into my problem.

Ya, I lowered mine to much and didn't adjust the preload for my 270lbs. I'd bottom out the swingarm on hard bumps so I had to raise it an inch and crank down the preload. Now "The Bitch" rides great.
