Default HD Touring models shock length

Does someone have a list of the different rear shock length for different years of HD Touring models?

I think you will find that is a list of two! Stock length for decades has been nominally 13", actually a little under that; some recent models have had 12" shocks, especially the SG. AFAIK that is it! What are you thinking of doing?!

street glides, road glide customs (inc. the 2012 and 2013 cvos), and road king customs (2004-2007) came with 12'' shocks. everything else, 13''.

The Moco has a terrible habit of not publishing really pertinent information. Like, say horsepower figures. In fact, you will find they don't even list touring shocks by length, only "stock" and "lowered" versions. As mentioned, stock length touring shocks are between 12 3/4 and 13 inches. Lowered shocks are 12. Inches.
