Raising a lowered Softail



Hello all! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm cross-
posting this from the rec.motorcycle.harley just in case the .tech
group is a better resource.

I just purchased a really sweet 2003 Softail Deuce. The prior owner
lowered the rear-end and I have no idea how. (Please don't hate me...
this is my first HD after years of failtful Honda ownership.)

How might I visually be able to tell what method was used to lower
the
rear end? Is there some way to lower the rear end using only the OEM
parts? If so, can it be raised back up?

I really appreciate the warm welcome to the world of all things
Harley
and any constructive assistance you might offer.
I have e-mailed the original owner. He has not responded to me. He has
my money. I have the bike. I suppose he's moved on to other pressing
matters in his life. I'm getting the feeling that I'm on my own at
this point.

Thanks anyway Gary.
