How do I know what length shocks I have. I can't measure them because it's not in my possession right now. It's an 07' XL883C. I wouldn't mind buying a shorter set of shocks.
Until you start riding your bike you won't be in the best place to start modifying it! By all means look into your options, but ride it first. The simplest thing to do is to buy some sturdy thick-soled riding boots, to give you a little more reach and better footing.
Might be the same as mine 11" bolt to bolt don't quote me, but I think if not 11" maybe 12" maybe the stealership could give you that info..
Thanks, I did some searching last night and I believe they came stock with 12" shocks. I called the dealer and thats what the tech guy said.
