That's a good looking fatboy, I really like yellow. I went with blue, but I was torn at the time. I would rather have an 06 than an 07 because I do not like the fatter rear tire on 07's. The downside is, eventually upgrading the engine to 95inch, cam tensioners, primary chain adjuster, and 6 speed.
However, the positive part is getting to build the engine the way I want it, and a baker 6 speed.
I agree with chaz, a fatty lowered in the rear looks good. I do not care for the ride afterwards. I guess it all depends on type of lowering kit and proper adjustment of the kit. I would also be concerned with dragging the floorboards more if I lowered it.

Those short shots(I Think?) look great also.

Thanks, I like the blue, but then we are Dallas Cowboys fans. They Big Shot Standards actually. I would now rather had the Big Shot Staggered because of the power chamber and ability to install the quiet baffles. The standards were on the bike when I got it.

"Proper Adjustment" is the keyword that TLB touched on there.
I readjustered mine 3 times til' I found the sweet spot. Its not plug and play. More like plug, hit play, plug again replay, replug, replay until its spot on.
Dang TLB....I wanna hitch a ride in that Sweet *** Boat Bro!!!

? I am not to familiar with the lowering kits on softails. What you guys use?
Is it just different shocks?
