    Mate, I have it on my Fatty, will scrape easily and speed bumps, driveway etc will bottom on frame. No problem with guard but must ensure wiring is tightly wired against the guard. Ride is shothouse and harsh...I love it though and looks cool as.

    I'm a short arse . I put the kit in and wound it down @ 30mm . Much more comfortable to put your foot down on the primary side, especially on a hot day. There is a bit of work to installing the kit. you need a press to open the shockies in order to remove the lock nut on the inside of the original stud. A job worth doing in my opinion .

     Mine's only down an inch and a half but speed humps cut the cable ties holding the wiring along the bottom of the frame. The Shell servo on Harbord Road has lost my business because I can't get the bike over their speed humps. Juts a matter of being alert to where you can and can't go. Scrape the boards every time I go out but I'm a pretty tame rider so nothing serious. Most of you blokes would have torn them off the frame by now. :)
