Rear Fender Clearance
04/04/11 at 17:29:34

Anyone know the travel on the stock shocks to full compression: i.e. "bottoming out" ?
I'm doing a mild "Bob" and am trying to gauge the minimum safe space needed between the tire and the new fender. The distance between the stock fender and tire at rest measures about 3in. Can that be fudged to tuck the new fender a bit closer w/o risking contact?
Guess I might experiment with the spacers and bounce around on it while someone checks the clearance.
