This is one of the cleanest, perfectly put together bikes I have seen on this Forum, good on you for sure (I am biasis to Springers) but thats my two cents.

 

Scooter: How about some pics of the bike?

 

Here it is...needs the rear lowered and some flames, oh and a nicer front wheel.

Any updates … good or bad … from those that have installed the Vulcan Springer Kit? I’m considering the 4.5 degree for my ’96 Springer. My concerns are removal of the original stem, as some have reported this to be very difficult … and then setting up the new parts, as others have noted it to be a PITA. Thanks

 

Bump ...

 

Used some progressive rear springs to lower the back end, to compensate for the lowering of the front by pushing out the rake.

 

This is cool but I must be the only one with an FL Springer that loves that "ran into the back of a bus" look. With the fat wheels and the overall meatiness of my bike I think it is a perfect look. Sort of like a fist punching a wall. The longer bikes get, the more "delicate" they look to me.

 

You're not alone, I love the stock FL look as well. I was actually considering this at one point, then seen it on an FL in person, and no longer have an interest. My stock FL stance looks perfect to me.

 

Thanks, guys. I’ve purchased a set of lowering shocks for the rear. Additionally, I’ve since ordered a pair of 2" shock extenders from a racing site. Plans are to drop the tail of this springer as low as I can … I'm thinking 2.5 to 3 inches ... then restudy the need to rake the front.

 

Question: Who has installed one of the 4.5 degree rake kits for the springer? I put on on and I really don't like tht eway it tracks. Very hard to drive it in a straight line and it alsmost feels like the neck is too tight, but it's not. Any suggestions?
