To raise your bike 1" all you really need is a set of stock Fatboy shocks. If you are looking for suggestions, try looking on EBay. You can find a set of take-offs from sombody who lowered their bike, you can prolly find a set that has low miles. I have seen stock shocks go for less than $40 a set. Most "stock" parts can be found cheap on ebay.

^ What he said. Or just create a thread in the WTB section here saying you are looking for some stock fatboy shocks; I am sure one of the great guys on the forums is willing to let some go for next to nothing. Especially those who got the Shotgun Shock, because you know they aren't ever going back to the stockers.

I have been working on my touring bike a lot lately and I have picked up a streetglide that I'm going to completly redo it from top to bottom.
Funny Jim said Traitor haha, I really did feel like I left my clan! It's rare that someone will offer top dollar for a bike especially these days and since I had another Harley I took the deal. I enjoy working on them as much as riding, so I was needing another project anyways.
I still check in every know and then

If your bike has low miles then I would say no, you dont have to buy new seals. Just be carful when you are taking them apart, my suggestion is to do one side at a time. I changed mine and had no issues. You do not need any special tools to drive the seal in. I used a piece of PVC pipe to knock mine in. If you want to see it done there are a ton of youtube videos showing fork rebuilds.

Erick: When are we onna see some updated pics? I may have to pick yours, Sgt_Jim's and everyone elses brains in about a month when I go to tear mine down. MAYBE. I may just try to swing it when tearing everything apart. My wife is already afraid I am going to lose a part. She worries about things too much; she is going to freak when she sees how much I am actually tearing down the bike...
OH! Found out I am coming home early! Just a couple more weeks to go now.
