You could lower the fender. This would require you to drill new holes in the fender and weld up the old ones. You would basically mount the fender lower in the struts. Of course, this could also affect how the seat matches up to the fender as well. Nothing custom comes easy.
I did this with a floor jack, i rachet strapped the front tire to a post in my shop so the bike didn't fall on me. I used a spring compressor from J&P cycle lol that setup looked sketchy even for me 😮
Not at all. Since it was lowered with a longer bolt the spring rate didn't change. It still rides like it was meant to. The only thing you have to consider is if you lower to the point of hitting the bump stops.
I like that trick with the floor jack. I'm gonna have to remember that.
That's some MacGyver type thinking nah it's Witchcraft Cycle Works type thinking love it the bike looks nice n low very good looking ride
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
I dont blame her for not liking the fender gap. What caused that? Different fender struts?
That's stock ride height. It just looks more pronounced with the white paint.
Clever way of using a floor jack cool
What is the best way to reduce the fender gap without lowering the bike? I would prefer not to lose any ground clearance.

@@WitchcraftCycleWorks Pretty much what I figured but I want to have a king and queen seat custom-made anyway. Thnks for the advice!
👍did you need to adjust the belt ?
No.

Using a shop press would have been better, but I didn't want to run out to the farm to use mine.
Can you adjust the preload on this year range of shocks?
@@landoncardwell I don't remember if these were adjustable.
You must have a great back. A lowered softail must ride like a hard tail.

Why would you?? They ride fackin' terrible to begin with....
