    Hi all...Does anyone know if you can fit a heavier spring into the rear shocks on the soft tails[fatboy low]?

    I cant see why a spring couldnt be hanged over to a heavier one.What concerns me is the avaliability of a spring.

    Hi all...Steamer,Ive been sussing out the progressives among others.

    As soon as i double on my fatboylow,my bike bottoms out everywhere.

    Do you think the progressives will sort out the bottoming out problem?

    Are they a much better shock than the stock ones? 

    Do they come with different spring weights?

    Ive got to ring Ikon again tomorrow,The tech was out for the day.But the lady i spoke to mentioned they can get a spring custom made,They also revalve the damper.Sometimes modified shocks can be better than aftermarket shocks.Ive got so much to consider.

    Hi all...Thanks again steamer.Another quick question,Have you lowered your bike or is it standard height?

    I spoke to the tech at Ikon today.A modified shock with 20% heavier spring and upgraded damper $720.00
