Congrats on the Badboy, fine looking bike. I think it would look a little bit better if you lowered it.

It has progressive shocks on it, I was thinking those should be adjustable... correct???? What i would really like is another Shotgun shock, have it on the fatboy and love it!!

Don't ruin it by changing a bunch of things 2WF. Bad Boys are unique as is. I put pipes,seat and PC'ed the spokes and that's it.Bike always get a look in a crowd.
