I think you only need spacer if you keep the belt guard. Mine fit fine without belt guard may be different for other models.

Figured it might be easier to ask in this old thread rather than start a new one....so I have a 2012 road king police...can I get new shocks and use the old shocks on a 2001 sportster 1200 custom?....I would think I can....any reason why I couldn't?.....does it change the ride height etc....any other adjustments needed besides possibly a spacer....ryan

Got some 12.5 inch shocks from the net, replaced the oil, installed with spacers (washers) & works well with ATF with seals conditioner, best upgrade to date. Single point access 0-10 lbs with small bicycle pump. Works well, much smoother.
Good luck.\\.

A passing comment on the use of air lines, as it amuses me that some early posters should consider them to be a risk! I bought my Glide new in 1990 and used the stock shocks for over a decade with absolutely no problems at all. I only replaced them when I got myself a regular passenger, at long last!

Had to shim the right one with a washer or 2 to clear the belt guard but nothing on the left!!!
