Unfortunately my spring mounts are definitely in the wrong place. With them in the current position the two bump stops miss one another completely. From discussion with other Sportster builders it seems that there could have been a number of chassis built arround the same time as mine with the same problem...
Still agonising on wether to give them the chop...
I am a bit of a picky b*gger - I like things to be right or at least the best I can do so I think they might have to go.
On a slightly brighter front
I have almost sorted the spec for the rear springs now - but it would be good to have some actual measured weights before I commit - anyone????
