Ok, I'm wanting to change my rear fender on my 90 softail custom. I've been looking at the MI slim jims. I know if want it to look right you have to lower the bike. How does that effect the handling? When riding 2up will the tire hit the fender on bumps? Will scrap or bottom very easily? All of these questions are in respect to lowering the bike 2 inches.
Thanks,
Wes

 

My night train is lowered two inches, a speed bump or something of that nature will bottom out the forks if you don't go super slow. As for the rear, the wife hasn't been with me yet to test that out but I'm guessing it is probably gonna rub on a bump two up.

 

Is your forks and rear shocks lowered? Thanks. Nice bike.

 

Don't worry about it slam it... I scrape almost every speed bump I go over... LMAO

 

Yea I have the two inch Arlen Ness slam kit. It has the bushings for the forks and the adapters for the rear shocks and a one inch shorter stand. go for it man it made my bike look so much better
