Default Rear Struts
Having a really hard time trying to find rear struts. I need rear struts with an offset of 1 to 1 1/4 inch on each. Most the ones I've been able to find are over 2" off set. Not quite sure how to find the ones I'm looking for since this is a custom bike and I don't have a softail model to go by. Suggestions of what might work?

Thanks,

Thanks,
So, you have a softail frame that you need to put struts on correct?
Do you know how wide your fender is going to be?
Here is a link that goes by fender width and is designed for standard 11.5" mounting ares.

I bet struts from a Breakout might be close to that. They aren't cheap though.
