I have a 2012 fat bob and was looking to upgrade the suspension. I ride 2 up with the wife and like to take 300 to 400 mile weekend trips. My question is what is the best suspension upgrade for 2 up riding on a fat bob?

 

Big question, lots of info on this subject - just try some searches on rear shocks, front shocks etc. I am starting with Ricor Intiminators on the front, but I do not ride 2 up very often. Rear shocks revolve heavily about $$$$$.

 

Let me add some easy info; be sure you set your stock shocks on 5 for 2up riding until you upgrade, the stock rear seat is crap for 2 up - might want to upgade there first.

 

Sorry I didn't mention I have a mustang touring seat. Thx for the info. I will check into it

 

There are a few threads about using touring shocks on the rear. If they are good enough for touring bikes, good enough for me!

 

How much are you willing to spend?

 

$500.00 to $750.00?

 

Call Howard at motorcyclemetal.com and he will take your riding habits and weight into consideration to get what fits YOU best. He is a member here and gives a nice discount.
I have the Ohlins #3-3s from him, and they are the biggest difference I made on my bike. Forks I went with the Ricor Intiminators and they made a big difference, but not near as much as the shocks.
A bit spendy but well worth it!

 

Thx for the info puffdaddy

 

I have ricor shocks and ricor intimidators and am very happy with them. Total cost for both is just over 800.
