Default 13'' Dyna rear shocks

Hey, I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of 13'' works tracker shocks and I would like to see how a dyna with 13'' sits. I'm not a huge fan of fender gap but I could live with it to help with suspension travel and ride comfort.

Thanks for your pictures guys.

Put them on several years ago but I am 99% certain I went with 13s (Ricors).

I have the 13" dual rate Black Trackers, the performance is worth any possible rear fender concerns - anybody that cares more about looks than performance gets to look at the back of a lot of bikes!

Thanks for the photo, do you have any fender gap ? I'm still debating between the 13'' Works DRS and Ohlin S36E. I read a lot on here it seems like both are good options but the works def looks better in my opinion.

By fender gap, I think you are referring to the vertical distance between the rear tire and the rear fender - longer shocks will make that gap bigger, no way around that.

Longer shocks makes it easier on shock companies to make better perfoming shocks but if you dont want to increase "fender gap" a 12" (stock height) aftermarket shock will still be a nice upgrade just not as good as a 13" or 13 1/2".

I have 12.6" Works and I'm thinking about having them sent back to extend them to 13.5". It seems like the "gap" doesn't show up till around 13.5, doesn't look like you'd get it with the 13"
