I don't think the shock mounts are any different from 2011 to 2012 so I'd say he's got one for your bike. Just give JD at Shotgun shock a call he'll fix ya right up!!

Looks like I will need to wait on the suspension as well as the exhaust. Thanks.

huge difference in handling, feels like a sport bike once I dropped the front 2".

Not sure if is the lower center of gravity, shorter wheel base or the progressive springs, whatever it is I am very happy.
