Default Progressive 422 retrofit

I recently purchased a set of 422 for my evo fatboy.

I am picking up a 2012 fatboy this next week and wanted to try and save a few dollars and utilize them. Is it possible to swap out the end links to make them work? Just by looking at the photos it looks like the shocks are the same. Thanks for any input.

I'd contact Progressive and ask them.

Thanks, Sent them an email.

** I heard back from progressive and it will not work. They have different compressed lengths. Looks like I will be ordering another set..
