Thanks Rick ... I am thinking when the time comes I'll probably replace the shocks with with covered shocks ....
Do you have any pros / cons of the Fat Bob shocks ... over, say, covered Progressive 412s ...?
I was leaning heavily toward the latter due to the 'traditional' style upper mount ... but, just yesterday I heard one 'downtick' on covered shocks ... that they can rattle inside the covers ... anyone experience that or have any other experience to offer ...?
Todd, I can't say anything about the 412's, never had a set but the fat Bob shocks ride the same as my stockers and there are no rattles coming from them. Another bonus for me was they lowered the bike a little which I wanted (still want more but also need it to be rideable).
