I have a 2007 fatboy and purchased the progressive shocks for the front. I have not installed the front kit yet but will once I get my rear kit ordered. I will have a rear rider from time to time. But she might get her own bike in the next year. My question is what are you guys putting on the back that you could recommend? I am trying to figure out my best options and then order. Thanks
Depends on your wallet,
Lowering bolts - stock shocks,
lowering shocks,
Air ride.
They all work just a matter of how much you want to spend and how harsh a ride you can put up with.

I'd like to keep it below $500. I can not see spending $1000 or more for a air ride kit. Although I would love to, I can not afford something that steep.
I am hoping to find something that is comfortable form me any my girl when she is on the back.
My 2004 heritage had the front and rear lowering kit installed by the dealer when I bought it new. I took off the lowering kit during the first year after maybe 1,000 miles. I still have the rear lowering shocks and front springs. Sold the shorter kick stand awhile ago. Send me a PM and let me know if you are interested in the rearshocks. They are the black ones, not chrome, but you don't see them anyway.
