converting a Fat Boy Lo to regular Fat Boy?
I am looking at a 2010 FatBoy Lo, but I am 6-1, don't really need it lower. How hard is it to raise or make it a regular FB. I think the rear travel is less on the Lo also.
Does the seat just have less padding to make it lower?
So, is it mainly a lower seat, handlebars, and lower rear shocks?

The only way to know for sure is to go to an online parts finder, then compare the part numbers for the seat, the handlebars, the front & rear suspensions....
Here's one that I use...

I rode 500km on a buddys Fatboy lo (Im 67) the only difference is the shocks have the same lowering kit in them as the deluxe.
I upgraded his Lo to Legends for better ride quality but for tall peeps like us you need to change the seat and bars and maybe push the boards further forward to get comfy. The suspension height is irrelevant once youre mobile.
