I didn't have the right tools to work and it was easier for me this way

Same, I didn't have to even remove the tank/seat tongue like everyone else in the instructions said I had too.
OEM shock came out and FOX shock went into my Fat Boy without removing anything except that over bracket under the seat.

Given the Fat Bob a bit of love this month, Cross Cycle brake and shifter arms which btw are fantastic. S&S 132 big bore stage 3 upgrades that just make it sing between 2500 and 3500 rpm, just silky smooth and pulls like a freight train.

beautiful parts in any case, nice look seen from the side, I don't like high risers, and those are just the right size...
I have purchased a pair of 5.5" and 1" pull back for my LRS, hope it will be enough...
I has the same Bung King risers installed this Friday on my ST - here are two different angles to get an idea on that pull back

S&S stinger intake. Not really for performance but more for not having my knee rest against the intake and push it outwards. Maybe forward controls one day.
Also pulled a plug to see condition after 1500km with TBR exhaust and no tune.

thanks but I’ll have to pass. Be not worth it with shipping up to Canada.

These should be posted in the Harley Parts for sale section.

thanks to NORTHERNFXLRS and CHRISHO fot the infos about the risers, they look fine and have a good pull back...
I receive my 5.5" pull back risers tuesday, will see how they fit for me, if it's not enough I will order the same as yours...
about your air-fuel mixture NORTHERNFXLRS, I think it's too lean...

as I promised, a little feed back of the Heritage shock on my LRS...
the height difference is already obvious:
before...



after..



the LRS is now almost comfortable, I say almost because the front is still firm and it is not a Öhlins, it's a basic Harley shock, but the rear is now more plush on the bad roads and it's more pleasure to ride, a good investment to begin, and I don't know why but the fact that the rear end of the bike is higher makes me feel more at ease on the machine...
