I recently bought Harley Davidson 1" lowering shocks for the rear and 1" lowering springs for the front for my 2003 Fatboy. Is there anyone out thereriding these shocks or has some inputonwhether these shock are any good? I already bought the shocks, but have not installed them yet and of course harley say's the are great shocks, but I would like to hear from the masses

anytime you lower a bike the ride becomes harsher. just depends on if you can live with it. here in MICH the roads suck (so does the govenor), so I especially notice the harsh ride when riding two up.

Thanks for the feedback Krf48309, I have actually dropped the rear and I am pretty happy with the ride, but have come across another problem. After lowering the rear I noticed that the rear wheel is not centered to the fender.The wheelis offset about an 1/8 of an inch. So now when my wife ridesthe wheelis rubbing on the fender, go figure!
