scrubbing off speed
« on: October 17, 2008, 12:32:07 PM »
advise please, I have 08 ext. about 5" over 253 lbs. leaving the line the inner fender
is scrubbing so hard it's worn a hole. the obvious is for me to lose weight. just wondered if
anyone else has this problem, and if so what did you do? oh middle hole of lowering links.

at your weight add a little more static pressure to the spring I would try that since the bike is extended need more spring pressure to maintain the same ride height

squatting too much. You need a custom shock and spring.
