Default 12.5 progressive shocks for RK

Was looking to get the HD progressive shocks in the 12.5 instead of the 13 inch like the stock length on my 14 RK. Hows the ride for those who owent the half inch lower?. Im 210, old lady is 120. Ride about 60/40 solo and double. Thanks for the suggestions. Be safe

I have the 12.5" Progressive shocks but I went up from the 12" on my SG. I do have 13" air shocks on my other ride though. I do not know how the 12.5" Progressive compare directly to the 13" Progressive but the 12.5" are still considerably better than the stock air shocks. Hope that helps.
