HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harley shocks are trash regardless of the length. You can get progressive 412's for $200.

If I wanted to go with a pair of progressive shocks for the rear of my 04 Low Rider which ones would be the stock version?

a 12" shock... you choose the model. Most will say the 412 is a better shock than the stock ones. I feel it is better as well.

Hey rounder,
Is the 12" shock the stock one that comes on a new bike? Also where can I get the progressives?

PROGRESSIVES!
HD shocks are junk, just like the front ends.
The front ends are cheap Jap crap... who makes the shocks?

Cheap jap crap....really? The forks are made by Showa which is one of the best suspension companies in the world. Ever made a couple laps around a MX track? Better yet, ever made a couple laps around one on an American made MX bike? No, you haven't because every American company which has attempted to build a competitive MX'er has gone out of business before they were able to build anything comparable to the JAP CRAP! Flame away, I got all day on this one.
