don't they screw in/out like the rears??? do not really know myself.
i know there's a hole in the center of the front bumpstops, and there's probably a nut in there holding them bolted on. i'd like to swap mine out for a set of energy suspension ones as well for the front, rather than cutting the stock ones, but i havent ever gotten the chance to pull the wheel and really check it out. i've got about 1/2" clearance with mine. rides fine though, i'm sure om bottoming out up front but i guess the rubber is soft enough i dont really feel it too much, so i've never really worried about it too much.

Anyone notice, that the bump stops are surrounded by metal towards the top, and boxed on the side? (hence the reason for my removal question)
jack up the front end, so that the arm hangs down, and look at the part of the bump stop that contacts the arm. Look towards the center, there is a hole. Does that have a recessed bolt up in there that you can unscrew and take the stocker bump stop out?
yep there's a hole in the center and i'm almost positive there's a bolt or something up in there. for some reason i dont think i had a socket that would fit in there so i never took them off to swap them out. or one of the boxed sides is open and you can see a bolt, i know there's a way to get them off, but for some reason i didnt have a tool or something that would fit and i just said F it for now
looks like plenty of responses to me. if you want to have ALL the chit from this board on one page go back to f150online in the clusterfuked harley forumOriginally posted by Krix330cic(NJ)

if you want people who know about the suspension questions to post answers, post it in the suspension forum since mostly people who know about that area are more likely to post up

that is an insult!
oh please gimme a break. how are we turning into FTW? nhtoc has ALWAYS had multiple forums. audio,detailing,classifieds, etc. this aint nothing new
i think the fiberglass resin has gotten to your brain too much
the day this site gets like FTW is the day i step down from supermoderator and leave all together. When you see ads poping up on all sides of the screens, and in the middle of posts, and the site running slow as chit, then it would be turning into FTW format. but asking to post suspension stuff in teh suspension forum, and audio stuff in the audio forum, etc. etc. just makes the site so much easier to navigate, search and use, and its been the exact same way since the start of the site 2-1/2 years ago
u type to much, and use to many smileys.Originally posted by Harley#356

You will feel a big difference once you cut the front bump stops .Trust me I just had my done after one week of doing my HOTCKIS TVS and there is a big difference in ride .I was bottoming out up front with 1" clearance.
