Yes they will

 

Yes, they'll fit. But hopefully you're not buying them. If you're getting them for free from someone, cool. But if you're paying for shocks, you'd be much better off to spend a few hundred dollars more and get some quality shocks. The HD shocks are trash.

 

Most folks that go from 13" shocks to 12" shocks will regret giving up that inch of travel, sooner or later.
There are other options.

 

I haven't put but a few hundred miles on my SG since I got it and tried even 7.5wt oil like but still have already installed 13" shocks with 7.5wt. You'd have to be some kind of vain to go to 12" shocks IMO. I've also never run the 'premium' hand adjustables but have seen a lot of them for sale and lots of people who don't like them. I suppose the same goes for the air shocks too...

 

I've ridden 90,000 miles the last 4+ years. Those mile have been on the H-D Hand Adjustables. Most of those miles were on the 12".

Guess I have a numb butt because they're good enough for me

There's nothing on a Harley that can't be improved if you want to throw money at it!

Most of the guys local bitching about the 12" shocks are using the "cute" stock SG or RG seats. Those seats I consider useless if you actually ride. lol....

 

If you're satisfied with the stock HD shocks, you'd be blown away with how a set of quality shocks feels.

 

Hey, bottom line is if you are happy with what you ride, that's all that counts!
Ride on!

 

Just like I was
