How low , how done?
I'm trying to figure out how my front was lowered. '11 Ultra. Looking on the website for EZ center stand, they say that the distance between the bolt for the brake line under the triple tree and the fender should be approx. 5" stock and 4" if lowered. Mine is about 2 1/4". I'm just curious if others have front ends this lowered. It rides great, there is no sign of fork seal leakage, Progressive tells me that their springs allow a max drop of 2". I even stopped by the dealer to look at bikes the same vintage as mine and sure enough, there is s very noticeable difference looking at that space between the forks. Thanks

my bike is lowered two inches in the front with the harley front fork lowering kit for my model. i have approximately 3.5 inches between the bottom of the forks and the top of the fender.
has your front fender been raised? what size is your front wheel, 17, 18, 19, or 21. anything above a 21 would need to have a raised front fender or at least raked triple trees which could narrow the gap

The thought had occurred to me that the fender may have been raised but I don't really see it or don't know what to look for, I bought it used and have a slight suspicion that maybe it had tall wheels, now it has Street Glide wheels, 18" front. .. but the stock Ultra 17 wheel has a different profile tire than the 18" Glide profile, so the actual height of the tire is identical. Thx
