If they are the same chrome bolt cover that the 07 Street Bob uses then yes they fit fine.
These are progressive 412 11 inch shocks...

Here's a pic of 412's on my Low Rider. 412's pretty much look just like the stock Showa's unless you really look close. For all that matter, I installed 412 full chrome covers on my stock Showa's they are so similar. Anyways, heres the pic.

How are the 11" progressives with a passenger? I want to lower the bike, but still want to be able to ride 2 up. I looked at the Burly Slammer, but it looks too low to ride 2 up. Maybe I'm wrong. Is it possible to ride 2 up with the bike lowered/slammed. It's a 2006 FXD.

I got the 11 inch 412, and have no problems with a passenger. Just remember there is a passenger weight limit.

I bought mine of a member here named Tweakin who was selling them to get black ones instead I believe. I have heard Eastern Performance has a good price and quick shipping though.
