I just bought some 412's for my 07 Bob. The Progressive site says the stock size is 12", so thats what I went with. Eastern Performance has these at a really good price right now.
Super Glide stock shock is 12.5" so the 12.6" 412 is the closest. You could also put 12" or less on there and lower your seat height to where the Bob or LR are.
Since there is technical problems that are being worked out on the search problem. I am lookingat buying the progressive 412 in 11 inch for 05 dyna super glide. I am around 230 lbs and usually ride solo with the occasional rider. Will this be okay or will I have other issues. I am looking at ordering from eastern performance tonight pending the answers I get. Thank you in advance.
trampsinger - PM sent - I have 412 11" heavy duty, very stiff but great handling. Progressive recommends HD for 2 up or solo over 225 lbs. Yet I am only 185 and find the HDs to be great - love them, but can see why others might not want such a stiff ride. Also didn't want to have to worry about bottoming with the lower shocks. Also put Progressive springs in front and lowered to match the rear.

I know you told me in another post and reiterated here that you've got the progressives. Are you aware of any blackened shocks (this is important) that aren't such a stiff ride? I've got a bad back and like the way the HD shocks ride. I also don't want to spend a fortune on them.
