I'm surprised nobody has jumped in and gave an opinion...maybe it's because there are so many threads talking about both of your options. I don't have any type of lowering done to my Fat Bob so I can't render an opinion from experience. I can say that I'm not going to lower my bike. I can't see giving up ground clearance and making the bike ride stiffer. Seems like a double negative IMO. I guess it's all about looks and that's fine too. That being said, get the Burly kit.. I think it looks good and is reasonably priced.

I've got 11 inch Progressives on the back of my bike and like fame 2 said it rides stiff. It's gotten much better since I got down to 210 lbs though. I love the lowered stance so i can put up with a little harsher ride. Plus i had a Sporty before and even with these short shocks it rides much better than the Sporty ever did, which would bang my teeth together over any bump out on the road.
I left the front stock and notice no handling issues.

I have on Progressive 11" on my Street Bob and for the last 10k out of 15k and it's the WORST modification i ever did to my bike , yea it may look cool black and slammed but the ride sucks over bumps and interferes with the front end performance , i can't take it anymore , i'm getting ready to change back to my stock shocks sometime this week and i can't wait , it's going to be a new bike ride all over again because i forgot how it used to ride which must be better than what it is now , i also might have them powercoated or painted shiny Black, the shocks will be up for sale pretty soon in the classifieds here on the forum most likely for $125.00 plus the shipping , i paid $240.00 , so be on the look out whoever wants them
