It's their 12". Went with that as a direct replacement on my StreetGlide. I weigh 185 and my girl weighs 115 so I think they'll work fine. Got them on last night and needed a couple of extra hands to help me get the sag adjusted. Hope to get a ride in later.

I've had the Super Shox for about 750 miles and absolutely love them. Very smooth ride and easy to set up, even though I have not touched the setting since they were mounted on the bike. I've had other aftermarket shocks and they were an improvement over the stock air shocks but too stiff and harsh on bumpy Concrete interstate highways here in Charlotte. These shocks just glide over the bumps.

Pretty much anything is a big improvement over stock. After getting the sag set right on my Revo A's Wednesday afternoon, I took it for a spin. Without even touching the rebound setting or anything else, the ride was noticeably less jarring over seams and bridges in just a 20 minute ride. Can't wait to get enough time on the road with them to dial them in.

Also, as many other have said before, now that the rear is much improved, it really makes the forks seem like they need to be done next.

Progressive 944 12" Heavy Duty on my TriGlide. Very noticeable improvement over stock shocks. Are they the best? No, but they bring high value for the money ($550).
