can anyone tell me what a good lowering kit is for a 2003 fatboy?
i know there is stiffer suspension on harley's than on metrics but the one thing im worried about is on the vstar i had i bottomed out alot on bumps and it was really annoying. if its not possible then i dont care i wont lower it but i love the way a lowered bike looks.
any suggestions would be great, other than losing weight haha i already know i need to do that!

Kyle - I have a set of these that ordered and never used, yours for $10 +
I got the extensions on my shocks and have them lowered all the way. The fender sits right even with the rim. If I go over a speed bump straight and sitting on the bike the bike will dead stop. Man hole covers feel like death. But i'm used to it. Dodging everything on the road like a game. One day i'll get air ride, but i'm 24 so my backs got some life to it till then. lol
let me check some reviews and stuff on those, have you ever known anyone thats riden with those before?
