Works adjustable shocks question?

I couldn't find a thread (I apologize if I missed it) that addresses these questions so here goes.

I recently bought some adjustable shocks. They did not come with the spacers. These go on the outside of the shock and over the shock bolts (since the eye is not as wide as stock softail shocks). So does anyone have any of these (need 4) laying around or can someone give me the thickness and outside diameter and what are they made of so I can make some?

Also I could use the fender to tire or ground to frame (in back) measurement (without riders or extra weight) when these adjustables are at their shortest. I can always lower the bike which narrows the fender/tire distance from there.

And if someone without the adjustables could give me those same measurements it would help. I think '07 K-9 specs says ground clearance is 4 inches

This is for an '07 K-9.

Thanks a bunch,

order some spacers from someone and the shouder bolts and you should be able to bolt up the shocks. the most inportnt thing with softail style shocks is that they do not bind the eyelets should move free

real fuckin easy to make your own spacers

you owe me a big drink you little fuckin cowboy

haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
