Default Quick Fatbob shock question

Are the Fatbob shocks valved differently than the Street Bob shocks?

That's a tuff one, unless you happen to know a MoCo engineer. For what it's worth, Progressive Suspension lists the same shock # for the FXDB & FXDF, so apparently PS seems to think what works on one will work on the other.

That's a good point. I figured that the Fatbob was built up with fatter tires and a heftier build with dual discs and such that perhaps the shocks were set up a bit differently.
