I have an '08 Fat Bob with mids and everything not absolutely needed unbolted and thrown on the junk pile.
In the back I'm running 13-3/4" shocks with raised spring rate and preload.
In the front I have intiminators with one spring washer removed from the stack to address the over eager slow speed compression damping, more preload, and the oil level set at 4.500". Installing a True Track kit mostly tamed the hinge-in-the-middle chassis.
V+H pro pipe helped clearance a little.
Now the cornering clearance is poor, instead of miserable, but the handling (clearance aside) is much improved. It's almost like a regular motorcycle that looks like a Harley. Almost. Now if I could just put it on a 300 pound diet so the limited engine power would better match the weight.......I might have something.
