Hey guys, im new here and just wanted to say hi. Last week i was in the dyna section lol. Traded my dyna streetbob in for the new fatboy low.. on monday... My question is , CAN i lower the rear of my fatboy or is it at the max from the factory???? also if anyone has pics of this bike with some mods please post or link me to some .. I need alittle inspiration.. PLEASE..

 

Air ride ill lower it more. You can usually get between 4-5" with a complete drop on the air ride and raise it up for riding comfort.

 

Congrats on your new ride. Here's mine and I plan on lowering it more. It is no different than any other Softail in that respect, you can use lowering shocks, bolts, or air suspension.

Some lowering bolts will cost you $25 on eBay. Some will cost you $100 at other places. Different shocks can cost a few hundred. An air ride can cost $500-1500. It all depends on your preference and your pocket book.

But ya, lowering it even more is not a problem.

 

i have the fatboy lo i think it is low enough looks just right***

 

You can lower it until the your drive belt hits the top of the primary housing or the swingarm bottoms out on the rubber pad that is right under the computer that is under your seat. Go air ride if the wallet will let you. If not get a set of Progressive 422's. Below is the links to lower your bike from cheapest to highest (You will turn more heads with air ride).
I don't think Harley Goodies has any info on his web site on the air ride he sales, however contact him for more info on it.

I wanna see some pics of that dyna in your signature. what bars are you runnin on that thing?

 

you can get lower profile tires and drop another 3/4 in and better gear ratio. 200/50-17 and 130/70-17

 

thanks for the info guys, not into air ride but a shock change may be the answer.... HKSIGMAN, the bars were made by me using clip on clamps from a hyabusa and alittle time on the lathe and some machine work. The only harley ive seen with actual clipons... handeled like a dam jap bike and was a blast to ride.. was just due for a change.. heres a pic..

 

We are yet to update our site with the Air Ride info, but as Rockyriver said, drop a line and we can talk.
