the 10.5's will lower your bike about 3/4" more than than the 11's. i think you'll notice the difference

Dpriest man i love your bike. I'm repainting mine this week a similar paint scheme. Thanks guys for the input on the shocks. I'm changing some things up on the bike as well as throwing a 30 shot of Nitrous on it. I am getting rid of some things too if any of you dyna guys are interested. Selling a front end and these take off shocks if anyone knows someone interested. Thanks again
