It would be interesting to read about. I remember reading on the SEEG area about one or two folks with a 2004 or 2005 raising theirs to stock height to improve the ride. They said they liked the mod they did.
I had a lowering kit on my 1997 Fatboy and I am a large guy. It would bottom out occasionally after a few years of use, I almost raised it to improve the ride. I traded it in for this 2006 and I love the stock ride quality.

I agree I just wanted to see what it would look like, I was thinking about it but not sure if I want to. I like the ride the way it is just wondering what it would look like....

I've drug / dragged (whaterver) enough of that very expensive chrome on my bike already.  Couldn't stand it to be any lower. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting Holy Chit......... What a Ride!

I'd second the recomendation for Progressive shocks. Especially for "larger" riders, they provide a great ride but will nearly eliminate bottoming out. A great way to spend $280 and never have any regrets.
