I am interested in the same info for an 05 Low which should be the same part #. I have been currious if the lowering springs progressive makes would be the same size as the low. Hence lowering the other models down to our size.

Just call Progressive or email them and they will tell you if they have a std. set for that model that's just not listed. I have a feeling that the lowering springs are pretty much the same lengthas the stock springs on the low models only much better. I could be wrong Progressive is good about advising what is best for a given appication and typically will get back with you in 24hrs. or less.

I went onto Progressive's site and download a pdf file which has all the numbers. I did install 11-1523 in my '05 XL883C (and 1131's in my Deuce). Can tell you that the change is very impressive. Really stabalized both bikes in hard cornering and stopped all the nose dive. Would not hesitate to intall them on any bike I own. Installing on the Sportster was a piece of cake, Deuce was a little more involved. All the numbers are also in Drag Specialties Fat Book.

I ordered the same springs for my 2000 standard. I found them on the Progressive page but ordered from Amazon and got free shipping. $ 82.45 to my door. I had to look up an 883 and when I put it in the cart. They ask me to more closely identify my bike and at that point I was able to mark the STANDARD box. Until then a STANDARD choice had not appeared.
