I purchased through Lakeland, they seemed to have about the best price for what I wanted. I probably could have traveled and did better but then when you consider travel cost and time to do so and they had just gotten the black denim and it wasn't sold yet.
That really stinks about the shocks, I was kinda thinking about trying to lower it more, but not if it's already that bad.
I'll be glad to post some pics as soon as I figure out how to do it, I'll take a look at it tonight when I get back in. I gotta get to work to pay for this thing as of now.
Have a great day......

Hey, I figured out how to do pictures.
Actually, I figured out how to read and follow directions.
Here's my first Harley.
I'm adding 14" ape hangers as you can see.
