I'm not sure, and maybe someone else could chime in. But you could take a tape measure, and just measure the distance from center of the eye to the center of the other eye of your shocks now. Just saying.

1200 Lows and Customs have rear shocks that measure 11.75" from center of each eye to eye. That will lower the seat almost 2"![sm=badidea.gif]
