Funny you say that...Look at my sig and notice my kickstand. I'm barely leaning and it's dragging.

I drag my kickstand now with the stock shocks, but not my short shots. So I guess my best bet would be to redo my rear fender then, instead of the suspension.

Swingarm mount that ****er. It looks good. Sometimes you gotta do a double take to really see what's goin on while it's rolling

You can get it pretty close to the tire without ever worrying about rubbing. In fact, it was hard for me to even get my fingers under there!

See pic (this is from a while back):

Thought about doin the whole swingarm mounted fender, then I realized you can't put a girl on the back

Seeing as how I'm newly single.....well.......that just won't do.

same goes for short shocks. your digging yourself into a hole no matter which way you go.

sportsters are not meant to be lowered this much, trade for a soft tail! haha

I've been thinking about welding a bracket together for a passenger seat to fit on, if I were to do the swingarm fender mount. It'll kinda look like a sporty/rocker mutt, lol, then I could call it a Rockster.
