scrapes a little when it is completely slammed
Hey whateva,

you might take a look under that fender, there is wires running to the tail light and if you "scraped" a little then chances are you might have harmed the wire harness.

Don't ask me how I know this [:@]
I was talking about scaping the front fender at higher speeds. I never scraped the front. Now the back is a different story. I ahhve scraped ot at low speeds. I am concerned about that. No damage done yet. I would like to figure out how to limit the amount of drop in the DB system.
Anybody got any bright ideas? I may end up taking the system off and going with diffent shocks.

Did a little riding today and handles just fine as far as the wheels go,,, cant realy tell any difference.
Still trying to get used the the DB system. The DB system rides better with the shocks nearly fully extended and feel nearly every bump when you drop the back end about 1/2 way down.. If you ad the wheels you will have to drop the bike down some unless your fairly tall. I was on my tiptoes before the DB

Looks good, come down a little in the front to even it out and it will be a show stopper.

Yep... actually I raise the back just a bit and it looks right. I have the DB system all the way down in the pic. I will take some different pics and post some more.
Thanks

I don't want to sound like a dumbass, but what is DB? I put the low profile HD shocks on the back of my FLHT and lowered it about 1 3/4"- 2". Rides the same but, not so top heavy. Your bike looks great with the 21's.

DB is the Draggin Baggers air suspension system with the compressor. You can raise and lower it on the fly. Sorry, there had been so much talk about it on here for a while and just assumed that everyone knew what I was talking about.
