Default premium rear shocks FXDLS

I would change the rear shocks on my wide glide and these shocks seem great. the ref is 54000066 and my question is about its length. Does anybody could help me?

I don't recommend HD "Premium" rear shock 54000066, but fyi they are 12" long. I would spend few more coins and get Ohlins.

I have these HD 'premium' shocks on my bike. I think they are fine, and definitely an improvement over stock Dyna shocks... However, I would only recommend buying these if you are getting a steal on them by buying used. I would NOT buy these new from a HD dealer. I would pay ~ $275 - $300 for them, though, if they are a clean, low mileage takeoff set.

Seriously. Spend a little more and get some Ohlins or Legends.

The "premium suspension" was the first thing to get axed on my fxdls. I got Ohlins myself, but I gotta say if you do a lot of 2up, the Legend's have a much faster to use tool-free preload adjustment collar.

I put a used set on my 2013 FXDB and they are definitely an improvement over stock but still not the greatest.. But I only paid $225 for them..
