yess, the belt slack, almost forgot to check it, will do. thx for the tip.
But my 412s are only 13' and the stocks are 13'5, so that makes only 0.5 shorter than the stock. u think it would do that bigger change for two up riding and the belt slack?

Eazyride,

The drive belt deflection for 2005 Dyna models5/16 in.-3/8 in.I went from stock shocksto 11 inch shocks and it wasOK. You should be fine with a 0.5 inch drop.
