Absolute sacrilege imho, FXDX's were the best looking bike in the Dyna range in the early TC era.
It's your bike though and it seems you're happy with the results.

Did you have to change your cables and brake line to get them on?

I would’ve most likely kept it as close to stock as possible if it had the suspension.

Is the "Before", the suspension that you received when you bought the bike?

If so, looks Original. 99 FXDX didn't have adjustable suspensions

You've probably been told that before

There were 5 Dynas in the line up in 99. They all have the same part number for rear shocks except the FXDX's. They had Fox rear shocks though l cant remember what adjustability they had.

I was initially referring to the Front because of the previous comments about the Front ... But the same holds true for the Rear.

Non Adjustable on 1999 FXDX (other than Pre-load of course), went to adjustable in 2000. The closest 1999 model that would have received FOX shocks as OE would have been the 99 FXR2 and FXR3

In 1999,
- FXD, FXDL, FXDWG, and some FXDS used the same shock
- FXDX and some FXDS used another shock
None were "Adjustable" other than Pre-Load

Possibly a slight length difference
