Default Progressive rear shocks

12.5 inch (stock length) or 13 inch

At that length, Progressives will definitely be better than stock. If your looking at 412s, check how much weight you will be riding as the HDs might be too much.

If you want a much better ride and have the budget, then look at Ohlins or Ricors.
