Default Replacing Rear shocks

About to replace the rear shocks on a 08 883.I believe the standard shocks are 13" eye 2 eye.
What length would you recommend in the 412 progressive shock series ?
Cheers Gunjack

If you like the ride height you have now, get the same size. If you want to lower it, just remember that things will rub when you lean a lot more than before.
I have 412s on my FXRS; they are great shocks. I got just a half-inch shorter, but use a size bigger tire to get my clearance back.

Just a suggestion...
check out Ikon shocks at the same price.
