That looks great. I was going to do something similar but use a whole Fatboy fender but the fender I bought got damaged during shipping. Looks like I'll be chopping it too. Got everything I need except the wheel and tire.

 

dropped the slim!

 

Wasnt to bad to do was it... Did you measure it before and after? Mine is at 22.5 inches to the center of the tail lights after, I forgot to measure it before.

 

it was a pain in my A$$, I didnt have the right tools, had to make 3 trips to the auto store...I have no press or vice, so once I got it all out it was 5hrs later. I gave up and this morning I took the shocks to a shop and they charged me 20 bucks to finish the shocks. Now my slim is throwing codes, so harley is coming to pick it up tomorrow. It says I have no gas, tank is full. And it says my blinkers are out which there not. So its been an adventure..LOL..but It looks awesome, while I was at the dealership, harley came out with white grips...so thats my next purchase.

 

Yeah I had to do some improvising to do mine, I used some brick pavers to build a little square for the shock to sit in then used my buddies golf cart to ease down onto the shock with a floor jack to get the spring clip out.
Sucks your having issues after, did you pinch something somehow? Did you measure it?

 

I didnt measure it, i know i have 4 notches left in the bolt. I looked to see if i pinched some thing, but theres no wires near the shocks and nothing under the seat got pinched...I think I knocked something that was loose...so its on its way to the shop..

 

Turned out good Jason. When I put bolts in I improvised for a press but without a vise I never could have done it.

 

What are ya'll using to drop it?
