06,
Thanks for the url man.
mt325,
I have the stock shocks with the Progressive stems. Great choice with the 422s man.
I have my fender siting an inch and a half off the tire. With my preload to it's max. The
tire will just slightly miss the fender, but only on the real nasty bumps. And I'm only
a 185 pounder. I've got to admit though. She almost rides like a rigid. Try 2.5 to 3 inches
off the fender with the preload mid way. Sit on her and bounce up and down to see what
happens. Then take it from there. Only a suggestion of course. No, I haven't touched
the front at all. If I ever do lower the front, it'll be 1" max cause I like to lean hard and
wouldn't want her to rub.

My kit is the 180 fender, seat and strut combo. It wasn't predrilled. I had to cut the fender struts.
Detach my shocks. Push the swingarm to touch the swingarm stops and then mock-up my fender
about 1/8 of an inch off the tire. When I reattached my shocks, the fender was about 3 to 3 1/2 inches
off the tire. Then I just lowered it to where I now have it at 1 1/2 inch off the tire.
In your case, you assemble in the predrilled holes. Then you lower to where you want it. I wish they had
this kit available when I bought mine......
P.S. This is exciting bro. I like to see projects in the making.

I'm like a kid in a candy store. I look at my bike everyday I leave the house and just can't wait. I was thinking about putting and a 23" rim on the front but thought it would be too much for the frame of the bike. Any thoughts? Now I just have to fingure out my paint scheme, this is the tough part.

It would probably look good but you would have to lower your front end at least 2 inches. I would assume anyways.

I'm not sure if they make any aftermarket consoles for the Deuce . The only one I
would think of is the one from the Rocker. I believe the Rocker uses the same tank
as the Deuce. Buddy over here did my powder coating for 50.00 cdn. I figured if I
didn't like it, I'd only be down 50. But I kind of like it now with my Dakota Digital in
there.
