Re: Lowering my 2006 fatboy
Have you tried removing the rear bolts back by the swing arm?

Re: Lowering my 2006 fatboy
It sounds as if you are trying to remove the threaded portion of the shock here. You have to remove a snap ring in the groove at the top of he shock to get this out. Usually the lowering kits are added to this section like an extension and not a replacement.

Try this link. it's from Arlen Ness, so I give credit to the author. 17-100 ADJUSTABLE SLAM KIT FOR 2000-UP SOFTAIL MODELS
I've used this kit on a Deuce and Fatboy. |

Re: Lowering my 2006 fatboy
Those instructions will work with any similar kit you purchase, since they basically the same now. You can also print or save that PDF file to take with you to the shop.
