My father in law has a FXDX(bone stock) that I never really cared for. But Sharkey's bike is Hot. I likes.

I think the FXDX was one of the more difficult bikes to sell in the entire HD lineup - even though it was one of the best handling HD big twins ever produced. The look did not appeal to the HD crowd - who largely cares less about handling performance and more about curb appeal (not being critical here - just stating fact).
So - what did Harley do??? First off - they redesigned the chasis for all dyna models - happens every so often anyway. Then they took the performance suspension parts off the FXDX and replaced them with $10 shocks. They moved the speedo to the tank, new bars, took one of the brake discs off, gave the thing a new name with a new paint scheme. Saved them a bunch of money. What was the new model called - "Street Bob". No escaping your roots
Brilliant marketing by HD - most people hated the FXDX - HD reduced the cost of a model they couldn't sell, made it look different - and charged the same amount of $.

Gee; thanks guys. Peer recognition means more than any of the sidewalk commandos.....
The rear shocks are 12.5" 418 Progressives; I also dropped the tubes in the trees about 3/4"; allows me to sit flat footed at the lights and makes it safer and easier pushing the bike backwards out of an angle parking stall. Took me nearly a season to sort out the front forks; sure a lot of adjustment available. Here's a pic of the bike in two-up tour mode and on one of my favorite roads.
