Default How do I lay frame?

For S&Gs...

How do I lay frame? I have a Deuce that has a newly installed Shotgun on it and I'm getting a 2" drop up front over next week to level it out.

If I wanted to say...you know....just roll up some place, hit the switches and drop the bike on it's frame so I didn't have to even move the kickstand out, how do I go about doing this?

I'd even get off the bike and scoff at all the stock height Harleys while pretending I was better than everyone else. Just so I could completely the image of douchebag Harley rider and all.

the swingarm doesn't have enough travel to sit the frame on the ground.

You'll need a custom swing arm or something like blocks on the bottom rails to make up the distance.

Guess you need to call Paul Jr. and ask him.

While I'm at it, can I get a swingarm that's wide enough so that I don't have to remove the brake rotor to get the wheel off?

I think the only way would be to modify the swingarm, or build a new one. There was a Deluxe on here before with a modded swingarm that was real low.

So, side question...

You ever ride two up? Ever get any complaints about your pipes? I see in your sig pic you have a solo seat but rear pegs. I want those pipes, but I'm worried about melt the passener's foot with them coming out right below the peg.
