if you are shopping for shocks i recommend you look at and consider shocks 13”-14” for the added travel, as once sag is set properly, most don’t notice the very slightly raised saddle height, and even those who do notice it are exponentially happier with their ride. I put the adjustable height Ohlins on my Ultra set at about 13-1/2”, and they are fantastic - there are more threads than you can count covering the “which shocks are best or should i buy?” Question - happy reading.
I would only add this.. If you put a 14” shock on a bagger with full length mufflers, it may hit.
Keep that in mind.
I’ve got my Ohlins set to 13.25” on my 19 Limited.
that is why the word often is in there. Not always true but most of the time, properly set they are right about the same. Although maybe different or someone could ignore correct design setup and make it different.
