Default Fatboy Lo differences?
Hi... having bought a 2015 FatBoy Lo I wonder what are the different parts with the not-Lo version...

If there a way to raise it a bit? I am scraping at speed bumps a lot...

thanks!

The jiffy stand and shocks are different on the Lo. The ride on the reg Fatboy is also softer.

I googled a bit about standard shocks and they seem preload adjustable... should mine also be adjustable? I am rather big at 120Kg so maybe I just need to preload them a bit.

(or buy a set or shocks taken from a non-lowered softail when lowering... ebay is full of those for under US$100)
