Are these the 12" or 13" shocks? And did they change the part number or just replace the shock with the new version? Thanks!

I looked up the shocks on a 14 SGS and a 15 SGS - the 2014 shocks have the old # system and date from 2010 while the 2015 has the newer system and BOTH shocks are different.

Of corse HD does not show the individual shock number online. Do you know if the kit has a different part number from the 14's?

I don't see the new set online, don't know if the part number for the set will be different, maybe they are just on production bikes for now and not available as a separate part. The pictures at the Harley website are all of the old 2014 shocks.

Ok I found my old 2014 catalog and the numbers have changed.

2014 catalog - 54680-10 for Low Profile Adjustable

2015 catalog - 54000091 for Low Profile Adjustable

The part number for the Standard Hight Adjustables is the same in both catalogs 54000008.

Here's a pic of the different length, I don't know if the 2015 bike has a different mounting point than the 2014.

Those are the new ones too - were those take offs?

Frame and swingarm are the same from 14 to 15 so mounts can't be different.
