I believe the '05's fit the '06 models. This is what I gathered so far. Am I correct?

While we're on the subject, what makes these shocks so damn good? I've never had anything but stockers on my bikes. I will never, ever ride two-up, so do I really need aftermarket shocks? Will the ride be noticeably smoother, or whatever, with just me on it? Curious...

Will you notice a differance? I should hope so. I know I did. a good quality shock/spring can make a huge differance in ride and handeling.

Yes, they fit. I bought a set of 12" 412's for an '05 Dyna, and they perfectly. Dropped the seat height 3/4".

OK, thanks for that. Now the question is: regular or heavy duty. I notice alot of people go for the heavies. I never ride two-up and I'm not an overly F/F, so I'm guessing regular, unless these things are unusually loose (bouncy). If anyone has useful advice, please chime in. THANKS!

Here's my version of shocks-there only 1/2" shorter than stock, but a night and day difference compared to stock. [IMG]
