Most shock length specs refer to eye to eye. The description used may not be exact length cause I have seen 11.5 or 11.6 inchers described as 12" shocks.
2005 883 the stock one even with me just on them bottomed out on every bump over a 1/2 ... and I want to carry my girl friend with me ...
so by watching Ebay I got a like new used set of Road Kings delivered for
43 dollars in perfect condition in the 13" length 97C if I remember correctly ...what an improvement ... no plumbing jsut left the stock plugs in them right now ... what an improvement ... it rides almost as well the the BMW I use to have ... so got it with 2200 original miles as a bank repo and trust me I will easily put that many on this coming summer ... 23 degrees today ... but 40 due sunday : - ) the the bike is all prepped to go with a fresh charged battery in her and a tank of gas ... good luck
The RK shocks are usually 13" or 12"...I don't think they have an 11". Regardless, if you're looking for a good shock upgrade that is also CHEAP, the RK take off shocks can't be beat. I'm thinking about swapping out my stock Dyna shocks with a pair too since I think my Sportster with the RKs rides better than my Dyna right now. LOL
