Street Glide shock is 12 inches eye to eye.
I believe the Road Glide shock is 13 inches eye to eye.

if you are trying to eyeball...on a model with 13" shocks, just the top of teh axle nut will be visible above the muffler ( in the gap between muffler and saddlebag)

on a 12" you'll see bottom of the nut...like this :

Not sure about the new Rushmore models, but previous years they have been the same.

The only real difference between a Street Glide and a Road Glide is the front fairing.

I was looking at a set of the Harley adjustable shocks that a guy has listed online saying they are from a 2015 Roadglide measuring 12 inches I was wanting to see if they are the same size as my 2013 Flhx shockst
