Default 09 Ultra ground clearance

What is the ground clearance and where do you measure it?

I know the rear of my bike is lowered with SG shocks. Is there a place on the forks I could measure to see if the forks are shorter than stock?

If the forks are lowered and I want to return them to stock height, do I just need to put the longer stock springs in them?

Thanks
Cecil

I think it's 5.1 inches but not sure where they measure. I would think if you used the SG shocks then it would be the same as SG 4.7" Look on HD websites. I could be wrong.

Thanks 103 so. Appreciate the feedback. I put the original 13" shocks on last night and the bike looks level. I rode it this morning and it rode fine. Took the wife for lunch and a ride this afternoon and the bike rode fine.

When I bought the bike new, front and rear were supposed to be lowered. I know for certain that the rear was lowered because I measured the shocks.

What I really need to know now is how to measure my front end to see if it is, indeed lowered.

Thanks for your help.

Cecil
