Anyone have any pics of a sportsrer custom with 13" progressive rear shocks. I am looking to get a set but want to see what the stance will look like.

 

Wing, my 2007 1200C here has 13.5" progressive 440 and Progressive fork springs. If you'd like I can take pic directly from the side tomorrow.

 

That would be great

 

OK, I did it tonight.

PS, the 13" actually have about 1/8th" more travel than the 13.5".

 

Why do the shorter shocks have more travel? In your opinion how does the bike look with the 13.5", too high?

 

Personally I like the look, lowered bikes all look like they're broken and need fixed. The way you see it there the bottom frame rails are paralell to the floor. It's nice to see bumps and then be surprised to barely feel them. I run Progressive springs in the forks with the spacers at their full 3" length and 7w BelRay fork oil.

Scroll down to page 19 here and you can see all the specs for the 440s. You're right about the travel, the 13.5" is longer.

 

Here's another one w/ 13.5" progressives on it (mine). The difference in ride, handling and responsiveness is well worth it, IMHO.
