[QUOTE=ttyndall;19775576]MoneyFor:
I appreciate the advice the other day. Thanks for mentioning the options for lowering the bike. With 2 other items I am scheduling to have done the air shocks put me out of my price range without being castrated in the middle of the night. Easy decision.
I ended up going with the Kodlin Lowering kit which took it down 1 1/2". With the height I had on my 2013 Fatboy Lo compared to the new Fatboy S it was 2.35" higher. I am a really tall guy measuring 5' 7" high. Waist up is really tall. However someone took my legs. With the 1 1/2" lowering kit it brings me to 3/4" higher than the Fatboy Lo which is fine.
I am going to post 2 pictures but because of the lowering I ordered the Board to Peg Kit from Harley. I had already installed an extension kit from (I believe) DKCustoms to get the right floor board further from my S&S Superstreet exhaust. So I will mount the new Peg frames on top of the extensions. I have had a Sportster and a Wide Glide in the past and liked the pegs over the floor boards so that won't be a problem. The kit is due in the end of this week so I'll post a pictures once it is installed.
From the pictures you can tell there is definitely a difference in it being lowered.
Thanks again for taking the time to help. The next two upgrades will be exciting.
Same I will do. Maybe the kit from Mueller. Same like Kodlin I think.
waiting for your peg conversion kit...I am 6.3 so..need legspace
HarleyDEU:
From my research the difference in the Muller and the Kodlin is that the Muller is adjustable in the height. The shortest distance in the two is the same..
Both are around 1.5" but the Muller can be adjusted to a shorter distance but not a longer distance.
If you are 6.3 you probably don't need to drop the bike at all.
You might want to look at an air a shock like MoneyFor and raise the bike. then go to the peg conversion and check on the conversion that moves the peg out and forward.
I won't verify my memory but check out DKCustoms. for the conversions. prices are good.
Air concversions are higher but that may be what you need.
Maybe MoneyFor will see this and respond because that is what he has ordered.
Good luck.
Got some under perch led indicators/DRL to replace the basketball fronts, added some black levers and black profile mirrors, and added the chopz tail tidy on my 2019 FB.
I just installed a coil cover, a regulator cover with a mesh behind and some new passenger pegs, I didn't like the look of the stock ones and now it matches my shifter peg and rear brake cover

MoneyFor:
First thing is the yellow straps are hooked up backwards. You are supposed to use them to hold the bike back because it has soooo much power even when it is not turned on it moves forwards.
Second is the fact you are spending tooo much money on your bike. Don't get me wrong, it makes it look fabulous. However, there may be someone on here that can't spend that much
and they just might have "Scarface from South New Jersey" drop off a Dead Fish on your door step. I wouldn't think of a thing like that but you know some of those Northeasterners.
Thanks for the advice on the drop kit. It rained after I finished so I have not ridden it yet. I put on a Harley record in the garage and sat on the bike and "MADE" my wife stand behind it and shake it like it was doing 150mph.
I wonder if we need a Poll for who believes that?

I have to remember this one , the bikes are in bike movers, since the movers are normally not suitable for a 240 rear tire and I haven't had "time" to adjust it like the one for my Breakout. That is why
I pull it forward so that it stays in the drive-in clamp.
