I'm tired, so if this sounds ignorant-- I'm sorry.

2 things:

1. How do I verify if a Chieftain has been lowered & tell if it is BOTH front and rear that has been lowered.

2. How to un-do it??

Any chance the place you bought it from can put you in contact with the original owner?

I bought it from the original owner. An ex cop...not the friendliest fellow...kinda tight-lipped and reserved. I messaged him and asked, but no reply.
I don't know if I should call and ask or not....
Don't want to aggravate him. It was a weird day when I bought the bike. It was his wifes, and when we had done the deal, later he told me she didn't want to sell it but he said, "tough".... I don't think she was happy-- but I didn't know this till the bike was strapped into my trailer.

And that was the last time dinner was late in that house.

Oh, a cop huh. Maybe the VOG Police Chief should give him a call.

 

[vision_nut]

guess you could go to deal and do some measurement and ask them

I can't believe I still hold the position. Turns out that nobody else wants the job.

Interesting story. Curious brother ...... what makes you think it’s lowered ? Ride? Sits too low ?
My thinking is ....... if his wife had it good chance it was modified. Anything else done ? Exhaust ? Pull back bars ?
Can we he t pic of her ?

It sits low and I have biffed the pipes pretty good several times. I looked at a bike at the dealer and measured clearance from pipes to the ground.
Yes, it has some "extras" including cams.
