I have my 4000 mile stock 12" shocks in my garage if you want them 100$ shipped or a 1000 mile set of 412's 12" 150 shipped which I will be taking off soon to upgrade I know you want to go higher in height just wanted to put it out there in case your in need of a shock.

If they're coming from someone in the factory you should be able to get a part number and cross reference it. The length may work for you but if it's for a bike that's a couple of hundred pounds lighter you won't be happy with them.

Is this even a real part, or some weird Sportster shock or something? It literally looks like the stock shock column and bottom adjuster, just longer. I want to post a link but don't want to give up my source....it looks like he's sold a bunch of pairs and has 100% feedback.

I want to upgrade the rear ( i know it's not REALLY an upgrade in quality, but I'd like a higher stance and can't drop $800 for something nicer for a while...)

See if the guy can get different model shocks, like V-Rod shocks. Some models have 13.5" and longer shock. Someone one must have a NOS stash.
