12" air shocks on a ultra limited.
I have a set of progressive 944 shocks on a 2012 ultra limited. I don't like the ride. I have a friend who wants to switch out his premium 12" Harley shocks off of his street glide with me. I know I will be losing an inch travel from the standard ultra shocks but I'm wondering how much of a difference that will make. I ride 2 up about 50% of the time and travel cross country. We also pull a trailer. 2up and with the added tongue weight come in about 430lbs. Has anyone put 12 inch air shocks on their ride? And if so do you think you could handle this set up?

Based on your riding style, there is no way I would put those 12" shocks on your bike.
The 13" version of the HD Premium Hand Adjustable shocks will give you a much better ride.
I put them on my '15 Limited, and they are great.
With 12" shocks, you just won't have enough suspension travel.
The ride will be harsher in order to keep from bottoming out also.

...however you can try what I did...12" around town and 13" when touring ....the swap takes 15 minutes.
and then I got tired of the jolts and sold the 12"
they not only reduce suspension travel ( distance) by about 35%, but that also reduces the time it takes for the shocks to go from full extension to full compression
most 12" take offs cost about $125, you can always try them and sell them later if you don;t like

I might not. It's seems that I can't get them right. The factory way of doing it isn't working. If I could get them right I wouldn't have any problem with keeping them.
