Does anybody have 12 inch stock air shocks on there fat bob I ride 2 up all the time unless I'm on my way to and from work my ? Is does it ride good or better than stock how's the handling of the bike good or better than stock shocks I done search but could not find anything on a fat bob also any suggestions or mods I should do before installing them I got them from a member on here they are 2013 shocks with 400 miles on them so they r new shocks

 

it'd be hard not to be better than stock..

theres really no difference in upgrading the shocks on a fatbob vs any other dyna. and if your going to upgrade the shocks you might as well spend a little more and do the fork springs as well.

 

Why ask now? You already bought them so go ahead and put them on...it's your bike.

 

Start by running them at 45psi, that should be close.
I run mine at 53. Gives me what I want...I also run little thicker oil.
Better that stock?... Much! as good as piggy back shock...Not!

12" stock airshocks? What are we talking about here?

 

Try using some punctuation so your question is easier to understand. lol. What's wrong with your stock shocks? Are you bottoming out? Have you played with the adjustment on them? The stock shocks on the Fat Bob are actually pretty decent comfort wise. Ive played with a bunch of different shock combinations and you aren't going to get a "wow!" improvement until you start getting into higher end shocks that are dialed into your weight and riding style. If you are bottoming out when riding two up then of course you will see an improvement with the air shocks since you can increase the pressure and keep from bottoming. But they are not a performance shock.
