For those who have installed lowering springs...
How much clearance do you have between your fender and your fairing skirt?

I used Progressive springs to drop an inch and I only have about 3 inches of travel clearance. Is this a safe number?

 

I have the same set up, I have never had an issue... although I would say the ride on the front is VERY stiff....

 

So you only have about 3 inches from the fender to the skirt?
And yes, the ride is a little rigid up front.

 

I would have to measure... I have a 21" wheel and a stock fender....

 

I went down 1.5" and worried about hitting my fender. I ended up lowering the fender down onto the tire and switching to a 50/50 mix of SE and stock fork oil. No worries now.

 

I lowered mine with Progressive springs when I fitted my 23" front. I ended up with only 2" clearance.



Must admit I have hit my fender twice but love the slammed look so gonna live with it, BTW I did use thicker oil and and ride is hard but I like it, its the sharp bumps that catch you out

What caught me out was, the brake union tried to reposition it but so far unsuccessful.

 

I'm at 3" and have never made contact.
