Modestly priced two up shocks
Thats what I've been reading... I have a set of Streetglide shocks, but a buddy said he would either bottom out really easy or it would be as hard as just going hardtail. Something something something angle is wrong.

Yeah...and take your seat off - there'll be scratches all up and down your rear fender

Dude, check out C&C for a seat. I'm running their SportTour & the OL digs it as much as I do. Stand-up folks to do business with & top-shelf seats, IMO. Carpeted base, as well. No rubber bumpers, but hasn't scratched my paint once in the 2+ years I've had it. My seat, with the custom leather, stitching & re-covering the sissy bar pad, plus shipping ran right at what you'll pay for an off the shelf Corbin or Lepera.

I have Progressive 444 heavy duty shocks on my Fat Bob and wouldn't ride two up.
On my street bob I had legend air suspension and they were fantastic for two up.
EDIT: OK they aren't so "moderately priced"...

The fxdf shocks are rubbish, they are standard Harley shocks with a fancy cover, if you put them on you will be in exactly the same position but with less money. The Hagon shocks work well, come in lots of lengths and weights and if you go for the Nitros they look great.
