Can anyone tell me the length of the stock front fork springs in a 2005 FXST?
I have bought a set of progressive springs from evil bay and I am not certain that I have got what I paid for. The progressive website lists the code 11-1131 for my bike, but there is a slip of paper in the box the springs came in stating the code 11-1133. I rang the person I bought them off and he said they were right and the paper with the code is wrong, but I am now paranoid. I need to know if I have the correct springs for my forks.
I have not had the forks apart before, and have nothing to compare them with. The diameter seems OK but I have no idea how long they should be. I have stock tubes and am not looking to lower the front end.
I've got an 05 softail standard too. I have the progressive box @ home and I'll post what it says. I haven't done the install yet either. I think I'm going to lower the front the full 2 "

I just put a set in my 07 Deuce (soooooo good - did the racetek gold valve emulators at the same time). They were the 41mm ones. The part number was 11-1131. I bought them online and my dealer installed them without issue.
The 11-1133's are for a 1986 SUZUKI GV1400 Cavalcade.
The progressive springs will be much shorter than the stock springs. Progressive uses a length of pvc pipe on top of their springs. Factory springs dont have this.
