I ended up dropping the rear back to 13.5" with the stock shocks. I never noticed how awful the stock ones were, until I ran two years on the progressives. The whole thing flows better now, to my eye. I like the lifted look a lot, but I think a 7 or 8 over front would work a lot better with them.
I've got the kickstand off, taking it to a friend for welding tomorrow. Best I could figure, I need about 5" added on. Seems like a lot, as I know of guys with a 1" or 2" over kickstand on long, stock rake fronts. But, it takes a 3.5" block under the stand to sit well. I'm actually only 9 over right now, but will be sliding the tubes down to reach 12 over. Anybody care to chime in with how much they have added to the stand and how far over the front is? If not, will add 5" tomorrow and go from there. Thanks again, fellas.
