I had 13" Ricors with the sport tune. While I thought they were decent, they had seal failure issues. The first one happened within the first 6 months. It was covered/rebuilt under warranty and no out of pocket $$$. The next time I had one blow, it was after the warranty period. I shelved them and bought JRI's (oops, did I say that?). Anyway, I was happy with the looks and ride quality of the Ricors, but not so much with the longevity issues.
That's what I was gonna suggest....I just put a set on a month or so ago, excellent shocks.
Mine are a couple inches taller than stock, but you can order them any length that you want and when you order them they will be set up for you, your weight, your riding style.
Progressive offers lifetime warranty. Just something to think about. I run the 11.5" 444's. Ride and handling was a good improvement over the OE shocks, which actually surprised me a bit going to a shorter length shock. No complaints here for what I got for the money IMO.
