Measure yours now from "eye" to "eye" and buy progressives that same length.

Buy the 11.5 " 412's lots of adjustment and a great ride even 2 up. Get them on e-bay, or look for a deal, don't hurry or you will pay full retail...mark..

I bought mine from http://stores.ebay.com/EASTERN-PERFORMANCE-CYCLES, got lucky at the time and paid $169, now most of them are $189 but they offer free shipping and fast delivery. I run 11" shocks but you will enjoy the 11.5" as they don't have as much sag as stock ones and are better performing overall.
