Default shocks question
I want to get some black shocks, don't really want to lower the bike if I can help it, does anyone know what size are stock?, would like progressive, but stock black ones would be great.

Stock length IS 12.5. From Drag Specialties Fat Book.

Newer is 12" ... so I was kinda right

OP .. measure your eye to eye on your shocks. Will be 12 or 12.5 then go from there

Go to the Progressive site and input your bike. It will tell you stock.
The 430's will work, easy to adjust, contrast cut in black. 444 newer valving, in black.
Sky is the limit.
