Here ya go! I think 2 1/2" would have cleared my combo but a lot will depend on the wheels you choose and their offset / backspacing. The forward edge of my front fenders has also been massaged a bit to allow more clearance and I put on a 1" longer shackle up front to compensate for the heavier motor. The front springs are also brand new and should settle a bit. I think I probably could have cleared a 37" but I like the look I've got.
