I may be wrong but I think the shocks are 11 inches.

Fill in the bike info and they will tell you the stock length.

I think Progressive only asks you what length shocks you want for your bike once you put in your info.

I think you should clink on the link and find out you are mistaken.

Click on the 412 series and it shows you the stock length when asked what length you want.

I think that's what I said. It asks you what you want for your bike, no? I've been on the Progressive site many times.

Unless I misread what the OP was asking, seems he's asking the shock length that came on his Low. Of course the OP wasn't very specific either. And H-D is very secretive in their specs when it comes to these things, including the Owner's Manual.

I think some of the Progressive shock applications are somewhat misleading, and if you have an older bike the original shock length may be inaccurate.

It's easy enough to find out. Pull one of the shocks off and measure it from center to center of each of the mounting points. It takes all of 10 minutes.

OOPS, I guess I misread your post.
