Default another shock question

Got a 07 Low Rider. want to change the fr/rear shocks. What is the stock length of my low rider's rear shocks? I will probably go with the same length from progressive. I wouldn't mind going a little lower, but I certainly don't want to take a chance of my inner rear fender toasting out my wiring. I was hopeing to go to laughlin river run to talk with the guys from progressive, but I ended up going to Penn. for my father-in-laws funeral.

Oh well
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend the 412's - go with something a bit more espensive, you get what you pay for!

If I were you I would do a search on here about progressive shocks.
I don't have any experience with them personally but like I said ask around
Thanks to everyone here and doing some research on my own I will be very shortly ordering my front and rear shock upgrades from WORKS. There not much more money than the progressives and there custom built to YOU plus they can be rebuilt also from what I have been told if you go with a little longer shock the ride will be better...Just my .02 Sorry to hear about your father in-law

Progressive 440's 450.00-500.00
Works 500-550.00
Ohlins 36E 560.00
YSS 450-675.00
Works, Ohlins and YSS are all sprung for you and your riding style, all are rebuildable, all are infinetely better than Progressive. Ask anyone who has had Progressive and upgraded to one of the pretty affordable alternatives and see what they say.

I don't think Progresives are really any better than stock...jmho of course.
