Fat Bob front end improvements
So; pretty satisfied with my Fat Bob these days; a little better for touring than the FXDXT was...but lacking a bit in the suspension department, even at my now slower speeds. What's the verdict on pre-load adjusters? Big difference? Had some serious dive when "panic" braking on the road...new springs and/or pre-load adjusters? Heavier oil? Too much improvement in the front will make the back seem even worse; put some 430's on the wife's Low Rider and you can especially appreciate the improved rebound performance; may have to find a pair for my Fat Bob...don't want anything too exotic in price or appearance; it just really is "Fat" compared to my T-Sport...

Check out my sig to see what I have done, I have the set up for a Fatbob very much so dialed in and have very detailed note's I could pass on if you are interested...........
The difference is like night and day now that I have all the bug's worked out and I am very satisfied with they way it handle's, from back roads, city street's or freeway running............
You would be looking at around $500.00, but well worth it..........
Stock set up just simply is terrible.........
If you need some help LMK...........
Live Free = Ride Free............
