Default Iron 883 10.5 shocks - TED CYCLES - Help!

hi all
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm looking for some 10.5 inch shocks for my iron883, and a dealer has offered me some from Ted Cycles by V Twin manufacturing (eBay item number 142594400384 )
Has anyone heard of used these? Thanks in advance
Matt

What you up to Matt?! Shocks as short as that are likely to give you a pretty shocking ride (pun intended!). Drove through Banbury only yesterday afternoon and while our roads here are not as bad as some I've encountered in the US, I for one would want something likely to give my sit-upon something comfortable to ride-upon!

I've found a decent set of 11 inch which should do, they come with 11 inch from the factory in the US but they put 13.5 inch ones on for the ones sold in the U.K. Which makes the bike look nowhere near as good ! I mean I know our roads are bad but an extra 2.5 inch!

There is a good reason for the longer ones, so keep them for a while. I have 13" on my SuperLow, by Hagon of course!
