[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 79799, member: 597"] Particularly when the forks are topped out, depends entirely on what shock absorber and lower eye bolts you use, on all I have used the longer eye bolts. Be sure you do a full compression check before hooking up the spring boxes, that is lift the forks all the way upward, make sure the lower guard stay misses the exhaust in particular. On one I had to move the guard assembly and turn the lower stay around, this gave it 1/4 inch clearance from the front pipe with the forks held fully upward. The actual issue is not that bad.........There is no way on earth that you would have the steering that far around whilst cornering and hitting a bump that severe for the guard to hit the exhaust, when you steer you actually move the handlebars very little. Cheers...............Greg. [/QUOTE]
