Default Front wheel to close on Erion?

I have an Erion, and someone pointed out the bottom of the front wheels sits VERY close to the fairing. I was wondering if anyone else's does this? The fork tubes are straight, and POSITIVE the frame is to. Thanks everyone!

Not sure where your looking at but my lower fairing/cowl sits 1 3/4" from the tire (lowest part of fairing)

I still havnt check mine to give you the answer you were seeking.

do you have a bike with a clean or salvaged title?

which is an indicator but not a guarantee.

I have a friend that bought a beautiful custom painted chrome 98 R1 that the front had been pushed back due to an apparent running into the back of something which he never noticed until someone asked why that part of his bottom fairing looked like it had been cut off to make room for the wheel to turn!

just a lil information to check out!

The spacing depends on the ride height of your bike. Has it been lowered?

On my old bike (f3 with f4i upper and lower fairings) I had maybe 1/2" between the tire and the bottom of the fairings without any issues

well a f3 with f4i plastic is a lil different than a bike with stock plastics.

and my bike is lowered so when I check mine which looks like it will be tomorrow I be able to shed some light on that idea as well.

It sounds like it could be lowered,if it was lowered by liftingthe forks above the tripple clamps then the wheelwill be closer the lower fairing and radiator.IMO
