I often drag my HD Heritage softail on roundabouts when I am not paying attention just with my left and right sides across the street.
This can be solved by giving the bike a slightly higher position.
To do this, you can lengthen the front fork slightly at the front and you can also raise the rear slightly by shortening the shock absorbers slightly on my Heritage softail. This is because a softail’s shock absorbers are not PUSH but PULL versions, so shorter shock absorbers mean a higher seat. If you make the shock absorbers longer, you lower the bike.
At Midwest motors in Australia a while back, I ordered 2 new chrome shock absorbers that have a wide adjustment range.
I adjusted these shock absorbers to the shortest setting and then fitted them.
This raises my bike about 3 cm higher at the rear while riding.
All done!
