OEM or Lowering Kit??
Here are a couple of pictures of one of the shocks from my 2004 FLSTC.
Is this the OEM configuration of the shock rods or is this including a "lowering kit"?

Thanks. Good to know that it's OEM.
I am actually just trying to determine how to set the ride height. It actually looks like I'm going to want to raise the back end a little.

Baaaahaaahaaa.... it might be! I have something of a winter project planned.
I'm actually going to try to get some cornering clearance and some suspension travel out of this thing so that it rides like a motorcycle rather than a sled.
I'd like to see the rear end with 3" of bump travel (3:1) and the front end set to provide 32* of rake with a Touring 17" laced, dual disc front wheel and a CT on the 16" laced rear.
The jugs and heads are at Bean's getting drilled to add a little poop, and a set of A37b cams are on the way, too.
This should keep me out of the bar for most of the winter. It's cold up here!!
