Stock shock length?

[06SuperG]

I'm wanting to lower the rear end of my 06 Super Glide Custom, but I can't find the length of the stock shocks. I'm looking at Progressives 412 or 440 series. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Don

12-5/8". Should be the same as the 07's.

12.6" 412's or 12.5" 440's would be stock length replacements. 12.625" is stock length as 07 SB said.

07StreetBob,
Were did you find this, or did you just measure yours?

I put 412s on my 05 Super Glide and it seems to sit aboutthe same as before.

I have a Streetbob and it's 12" on center. Don't remember where I came upon the center to center measurement of the SG shocks but they are 12-5/8" or as another poster said, 12.625". Installing Streetbob shocks on a SG lowers the SG by about 1/2". I sold mine to another forum member sometime back and they lowered his SG about 1/2".

Stock shocks are 12.6" eye to eye. I replaced mine with 11.5" Progressive 418's and it dropped the rear 1".
I also installed the progressive lowering fork springs and dropped the front 1".

Thanks to all that responded.
Stock length IS 12.5. From Drag Specialties Fat Book.
I bought the Progressive 412's 11 inch HD. Still adjusting pre-load, but rides very nice.
Just ordered Progressives Lowing Kit for the front.
