Default Pics of my lowered Train using Progressive 413 Shocks

Here's a shot of the bike lowered 1"+.. There's more pics in my signature below.
That's plenty in my book. The tire is just too big to look good slammed in there. The ride is much better than stock.
I highly recommend them..

I haven't ridden 2 up yet, but I don't think they will be any problems.

Cool. I'm really interested in getting lowering my fatboy. Could you link me to where you got yours? Did you get the chrome or zink shocks? I was thinking about the chrome but seems like the zink would hold up better under the bike.

A friend of mine is an independant, and I bought them through him. $450.00 installed.
I got the chrome. I read a post from someone who bought the zinc, and was disappointed with seeing the gold zinc color on his bike.
The chrome was only $50.00 more anyway.

Forks are stock length. I have no plans on lowering the front. I think it sits and looks better with the stock fork length.

This is where I got mine: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PROGR...QQcmdZViewItem

I used them to lower the rear of my fatboy 1 1/4". I used a white brothers kit to lower the front 1 1/4". I really like the lowered look. The ride is stiffer but it still handles great.

I don't understand the chrome shock thing ... the shocks are under the bike and can hardly be seen. What is the point of chrome on the underside?

Just wondering
