Cool. The Progressive Suspension full cover black heavy duty's I wanted only came in 12". They discontinued the black full cover 11" entirely. I ride 2up half the time, so I needed a heavy duty shock. I'm using the 1" lowering kit I got off of fEbay for $59.99 to get the lowering I couldn't get with the shock model I liked.

Please post up a picture and give us an opinion on that kit. I'm very interested as I'm sure a few others may be also.

I just ordered 11" progressives for my SB. if the Op wants my stock shocks I can work out a good deal!
WG has the 12.6 inch shocks. 1/2 inch shorter shock will give you almost 1 inch lower seat height.

I run progressive 1" lower 430s. I bought them through my HD dealer. I like the look but they ride rough

I've been thinkin' about getting a 1" lowering kit instead of changing the shocks for my Street Bob...this is a link that Bosken had for the lowering kit I think he used.
