I want to drop my fat bob 1" or so but I don't know what a good lowering kit is or what to pay. Can anyone help?

Check out the Burley Brand website and their slammer kits. http://www.burlybrand.com/slammer/index.html

I am going to do this same mod with my tax refund money. The other option for the real men is rigid struts for about $100!

 

Thanks for the advise!

the burly kit will drop the bike much more than 1". If you would like to drop the bike and ave it ride like a dump truck, the burly kit is the way to go. Now if you still want a nice ride, get works performance 11 1/2" shocks for the rear. Next get a progressive drop in lowereing kit for the front. Cut the front spacer the recommended amount for 2" of drop and install a intiminator in there as well as 10wt fork oil as they recommend. you will reduce the ride by 3/4-1" around and the bike will actually ride better as well.

 

Viva la dump truck! Go Burly!

 

I recommend the Progressive 11" shocks and the new Progressive front "Drop In" Springs. I changed my suspension to the above on my FXD/WG and there must be a 300 to 500% improvement in the handling. Prior to the change my bike had been modified for the original owner who was 6'3". I'm 5'8" and the bike was to tall for me even though I had no problem with seat height.

 

thanks everyone for the advise. keep it coming. I would like to get a lot off input before I go spend a bunch of cash.

 

That's good to know! I would have gone with the Burly lowering kit if I wouldn't have read that

I just went on their website. There are 11" to 13.5" kits. What exactly do these numbers mean?
