Can somebody give me the spec for stock ride height and where the factory measured from, like lower aframe to spring pocket or where ever. Thanks-oh if there is one for rear too that would be good.

Nobody has a factory service manual that lists the frame specs for ride height? I know-I am going to buy one but I kinda need to know now.

my 68 service manual lists the following dimensions:
floor to top of front frame horn 17 1/4
floor to top of frame about 1/3 back 10 3/8
floor to top of rear frame just behind the hoop over the rear axle 14 3/16

Give me your address and I'll send you a copy

Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve-email on the way!

Is that the top of the frame-not the bottom?

forget those numbers, they were off a diagram for straightening frames. I have found the correct numbers and will mail them to you. unfortunately, I do not have a scanner so can't post them here or e-mail. check my profile for e-mail address, somehow it got left out.
