That's what I was afraid you'd say. Probably more bounce with a passenger...still looks killer.

BTW...when I said I hated the look of the gap between rear tire and fender I was referring to stock softails not the way yours looks like now....especially mine with that bobtail fender.

are you actually hitting the tire on the fender or are you bottoming out on the bump stops?
