Forgive my ignorance. I know that 4" over = 4" over stock. Does it literally mean that the front wheel is 4" further forward?

Plus, they aren't too kind to the rubbermounts/EFI's over there...
Much like the pic above, just a bit less. May still go 6 but worried it'll feel "tippy" and know kickstand will be a problem.

Thanks
Thank you old schooler. I figured they were the same from fxd to sportster. I figure new tubes and a paint change this winter will be nice.
