I don't know for sure. Somebody here might have a better answer. What I do know is that I put a pair of Ohlins on my SB. They were 12.6" and according to Howard from Motorcycle Metals were intended to be FL shocks.
Your stock length is 12.0" so I would think they might work. My Ohlins were set up for my bike and weight so using a shock for a heavier bike might be a problem.

Thanks. My concern was them not fitting due to the bushings or bolt on hole being to big
