Rear shocks should be adjustable, make sure you adjust both equally.

Re: got a 1994 fatboy need some hight.

could be that it has a lowering kit fitted or it may be spirited riding

It's not too difficult to ground out a Fatboy either solo or two. As it's a 1994 model look to the condition of the suspension. The fork springs could have set or someone may have fitted a lowering kit on that too.

Go measure the ride height, fork length etc and compare with another fatboy if you can or post on here and I'll compare to one we have in the shop.

Check for a lowering kit, if you bought it new you'll know if one has been fitted. If not wined the shocks right up.
