Default Fatboy Lo-wer....

Alright, I have a 2001 fatboy, just got 12 inch baby apes and new cables on the way. Next thing I am getting is a badlander seat. Then, I want to lower it some. How did you lower yours? What is the cheapest and easiest way to lower it? I need to get it lower, so i dont look like an old man rolling down the highway. (No offense old people)

Well, you can either go the cheap way (shock extension bolts $20) and not look old, but feel it (you won't be doing your back or butt any favors), or you can go the expensive way (air ride $800-$1500) and look and feel great. Your choice.
