Default quick question about shocks

I'm looking at some turn signals that attach to the tops of the rear shocks. They say it fits all progressive 412 and 812 series, but I still have stock shocks. are the caps of the progressives the same size as stock iron shocks?

$176 to $148 for those lights, no thanks! Many after market lights that you can purchase out there, ebay, amazon, craigslist, forum classifieds, etc. I would replace the stock shocks w touring shocks "used" from a SG, you can buy a new pre own set pretty cheap. The stock shock SUCKS big time.. I personally don't see a problem w fitment if you want those lights, you can always buy them, try them on and if they don't fit you can send it back. Have you consider using a fear fender LED light? those are pretty cool and really make a difference in being seen. Don't know much about these shock lights..
