Default Rear shocks, 1994 Dyna

Does anybody know what the stock shock length should be? When I ride with a passenger the slightest bump in the road it bottoms out. I am wondering if someone didn't lower it.

Go to progressive suspensions web site and click the "What fits my bike" link, it will help you figure it out.

Pretty sure all the '94 Dyna's ran the 12.6 (12 5/8) rear shocks. But yeah, progressives site is pretty helpful.

What setting is the preload on? Maybe you can just crank them up.

Sounds like they are shot then, my stock ones did not bottom out 2up, I did upgrade to HD shocks though, like riding a hard tail when I am alone with no gear and leave it on the highest....
