LOL It was too much Yukon Jack and a brain fart that started it. The 06 bob came with 11" shocks still have a problem with both feet flat being right leg is 3/4 shorter that left leg because of MVA. So to get bike lower either I have to gain more weight in which I'm 230 now or figure out to lower rear end without bottoming out into fender I came up with that brain fart without buying a frame. Mybe get a low profile tire hhhmmmm. That sounds better

The only way your Bob came with 11" inch shocks, is if either you, or the dealership had them put on prior to your picking it up. NONE of the DYNA models come from the factory with 11" shocks. You have to measure them from "eye to eye".

Careful mentioning the hardtail idea I got a whole bunch of people pissed off about 6 months ago when I was talking about it.
