This is probably a common problem, one that has to have been previously discussed but how can I increase the ground clearance on my GL1200? The voyager kit belly pan sometimes scrapes. I'm already running progressive springs up front and the maximum air in the rear shocks. Are there fork extensions or rear shock extenders available out there somewhere? I'd like to raise it at least 1 inch. Any positive help is appreciated. Thanks.

on my 1500 I added washers the size of the springs on the front and on the back I found some shocks off a Harley that was one inch longer on ebay .If you have never work on front forks I would suggest you get someone with experience as these springs are under pressure
Bill I thought about adding a spacer to the progressive fork springs but I'm concerned about having to much force inside the tubes, causing an overly stiff ride or worse blowing the fork caps off the end of the tubes. Would love to know if fork extension from a 1500 would work on a 1200. Not that I know where to get fork extension for a 1500. All I seem to find are for Harleys.
Papa Zook our great leader/forum owner sells fork extensions.
