So I just bought my new bike last week. The dealership couldn't find the exact bike I wanted (XL883 Iron) so I bought a Custom instead. The only problem is the forward controls and the seat height. The dealership swapped out the forward controls with the mid- controls for me and swapped out the stock shocks with the shocks from the XL883 Low. So everything is almost great.. I still have a problem putting down the kick stand. You would laugh if you saw how I put it down.
My question: Since the rear end was lowered the bike looks like the front end is raised. Will I run into any problems if I lower the front by sliding the front forks up into the trees? If I could just get an extra inch or two, I think it would be almost perfect...
If I am able to do that.. will I need to purchase a different kickstand like the one from Licks? (I would post the link but I need more posts to do so..) Will I find any performance issues because the Trail/rake will be changed by doing so?
Thanks everyone.
