Hey folks I built this beast using an old santee frame, I ordered stock length springer frontend and the bike sits about 1" too high in the front. Does anyone have any ideas how I can lower the springer? No I do not want to raise the back of the bike. Is it possible to flip the lower bracket which holds the front axle and not cause any handling problems?

Can you contact the people you got it from?
If not, try another springer company.
I would go to the source for info.
