RE: Dyna Shock Lengths
I am in the market for the chrome covered shocks for my '03 WG, but all I can find is the 11" and 13.5". Eye to eye I am at 12.5" OEM and the ride height is great as is, but I am going for the look. I am concerned if I go 11" I will bottom out with just me, but for sure with the wife. I wouldn't mind the 13.5" but I am afraid it will look odd. SO my question is this: If I would use the 13.5" do you think you could really notice the almost 1" in height gain? I am thinking not so much, but I want to hear others opinions.
Sorry for topping such an old thread, but I didn't want to start another one for this simple of a question.

Keep in mind my bike is a 2005....
Eye to Eye length stock Superglide shock 12.6 inches
Eye to eye length Lowrider shocks 11.6 inches
I'm using 11 inch Progressive 412 Heavy Duty's. solo riding I have 7/8 inch fender to tire clearance when sitting on the bike, and I'm 220 lbs.
These figures are again for 2005's.
The Progressives are normally $250+, but you can get them through Jirehcycles.com for around $190 with free shipping!!

My 07 street bob shockswere 11 7/8 from eye to eye. Which is the same length as the H-D lowering shocks. The 07 Low Rider shocks I measured were 12inlong. I went with 11 1/2's on my bike and it looks good and i can still ride 2-upjust fine.
