Ground Clearance

[bmdjmd]

So how much do YOU have and what did you have to do to get it???

I have an even 14.5" front to back and have NO lift, HL springs and 28" MST's.

I'm not sure just yet.So far I have the 2" front lift but when I get the 1.5"rear lift installed I can get accurate numbers,i'm running 26" tire's on 12" wheels.Where exactly should I measure from to get a good idea of what kind of clearance I have once I get the rear lift installed??

I'll will say this though with the front lifted 2" lift I can slide my entire body completley under the qaud.

Turk, measure dead center on the front and in the rear, the highest point off the ground up front and in the rear it would be around where your reciever hitch would be. I also like to measure my floor board clearance, I'll take some measurments in a few minutes....or as soon as the lovely mrs Rubberdown gets back from Timmies with my large double double :D

[Rubberdown]

Okay, I got 15-3/4 at the back and at the sides at the floor boards, and I got 14 in the front. I'm running a 27" tire with my 1.5" lift kit. The floor boards and rear I am happy with, but I may upgrade to my 2" front kit soon now that I have some #'s on it. I kjnow my wifes stock machine with 26" tires is a lot lower everywhere compared to mine though.

Nice vern whats the bar above the pod for, a stereo????

[B Man]

Mudders power bar. It gives you an extra handle when you are leaning the bike over. I works better if you also have a left handed throttle kit. But I can't get used to using one.

29.5's and some crappy lift i found on the web from a canadian :bolt:

i cant figure out how in the world i got pretty much the same up front as bigdog with him having a 6" gorilla lift.....

Cool, but are you kidding about the left hand throttle kit, you know how many times my one thumb is frozen and I wish I could tuck it into my palm of my gloove and use the other side to drive for a while to let it thaw out a bit LOL.....

[Rubberdown]

Eric, you gotta post some new pics of that thing with that crappy canadian lift kit thing you got ;)

["Bankrupt"]

will do.

but getting it clean enough to take a decent picture lately is hard. im working a 80 hour week (in 5 days) and all my free time during the week is spent sleeping and on the weekend is spent riding.

we rode from 7 pm till 5:30 am friday night and from 2 pm till midnight saturday.

[Rubberdown]

Damn, I noticed that when I was in TX, you boys sure do like the night riding eh.

["Bankrupt"]

we like riding period.

day, night, rain, sleet, snow or anything. thats why my bike is only a few months old and it hit 300 miles friday night.

[Turk]

Here's what I got so far


Front lifted with a RD 2" lift

14" in the very front
14-1/4" at the front of the floor board


Rear not lifted (awaiting RD 1.5" rear lift)

13-1/2" at the rear hitch reciever
13-3/4 at the rear of the floor board

It's very hot during the day in the Deep South. The night ride is a lot of fun, it's a lot cooler and the trails are usually empty. We always ride in big groups too.

No lie on the left hand throttle. My 19.5" is with a 27" actual height tire. 29.5 It would grow a good two inches. Also my 800 only gets mud pit raced so the springs are set pretty soft.

At one time I had 17" of GC in the rear of my Rincon with HL springs, 29.5 Swamplites, and a custom rear lift. Not sure what I have now with the RD lift and 28" Bugs with stock springs. I will get a good measurement this week sometime.
