CAUTION PAINT ON FORK STOPS
skippy:
Be careful when locking the front forks the frame comes into contact with the fork stops .I noticed this the first day I had the bike.. I placed two small rubber disk on the frame to prevent any paint to paint contact... years ago you buy a stainless steel kit that you glued onto the frame and fork that prevented this from happening has anyone seen that in any of the catalogues... tks skippy
crshnbrn:
Have never seen a fork stop frame protector for a Springer as they have a different fork stop than all other Softails. Have used ones from Rick Doss on other Softails to protect the paint on the frame and to limit fork turn to provide extra clearance for large tanks.
Welcome to the site.
What color is your SE Springer?
beerman:
Well OK - remember I bought the Copper One !!
I put a couple of brand new pennies on the frame where it hits
Looks kinda neat actually !!
Also - I have the bars swiveled down farther than normal and needed the extra 1/2 inch out at the tips of the bars at full lock to keep from hitting the tank

Beerman,
What a clever solution.
kr4336:
Thanks for the heads-up. Will try to think of something more clever than beerman...
May be pretty difficult to outdo him though... [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
