Use an appropriate motorcycle lift or a block of wood or steel placed securely under the frame. 2. Measure the distance from the center of the rear axle to the bottom of the rear fender directly above the axle. NOTE: On some models it may be easier to measure from the top of the drive belt guard to a convenient spot on the rear fender (along the pinstriping for example). Both locations must be directly above the rear axle. 3. Record the measurement and the locations from where the measurement is taken in the space provided. 2 1. Center of Rear Axle 2.
