Since I already have the front suspension dialed, also a custom cartridge.
I am trying to do the same for the rear.
The RWD RS-1 is probably over sprung for lighter riders since there is no option for different springs.
The Race Tech was built for my weight and type of riding (most of the time) that I want to do. Furthermore, the Race Tech is longer by an inch compared to RWD RS-1. So, more ground clearance.

Can you provide a model reference number please?

In the end, I spoke to them couple of times to get a tailored suspension for me. It is made to order.
I am not sure why they are not promoting it more.
Shocks start at $799.99 for our IFP with rebound adjust and standard preload collar setup.
Remote resy shocks start at $1099.99. These shocks come with high and low speed compression adjust as well as the rebound and standard preload collars.
The ride height option can be added to any shock for an additional $50.00
The hydraulic preload adjust option is an additional $250.00 and can be added to either shock option. Will need to know if the model has the remote preload adjuster stock or not.

After more than a week of not being able to ride, got her out for a 100 mile jaunt. Don't know how you guys that can't ride for 3 months out of the year do it. Tested grasshopper backrest for the first time on this ride. Love it. Bike is bone stock still and looking to ride it a bit more before I decide what I want to do with it. Starting with exhaust though.
ETA: First ride with 18" King Size HD windshield as well and it is perfect for me. 0 buffeting and was able to keep faceshield up with inner visor down for the entire ride.

Rode today, I put over 1,000 miles in a little over two weeks on the new Fat Boy. Not exactly an Iron Butt, but I'm enjoying it.
I hated the toe/heel shift, just couldn't get used to it, so I removed the heel lever, and raised the toe lever. Mega better! Before my foot was trapped in that small space, now I can move it around, and position myself differently, much more comfortable.
