Default slam my Fat Boy?

I dont think so.

I get that people like different styles so I dont usually make negative comments even if I think someone went and spent money to make their expensive bike look stupid.

Their bike, their taste is what matters, not mine.

However, since several folks have suggested that I lower my Fat Boy I think this time I'll make an exception.

I think lowered bikes look completely goofy. Not even a little bit cool.
This particular mod can also negatively affect the bikes handling and ability to lean very far.

Bleah! Not in this lifetime. I think you people are nuts

I agree. Lowered bikes will earn style points, but that's about it.

Whatever floats your boat I always say.......I lowered my Fayboy cus I'm short and the same for my Ultra.....don't really care what others think of my bikes as i assume many others too.

Just ride it......don't just look at it....I always say......

LOL....This is funny because I also could never understand the purpose of lowering any vehicle. I can understand for true racing applications but for the street...really.

I lowered mine and I love it. Yeah, the boards scrape a little sooner, so what? Yeah it rides a little rougher, who cares? But damn, it looks sooooo much better.
