Umm,thank youRoofus, I guess. I was on their site for a considerable amount of time. After discerning that they do not list 11" shocks in their catalog for a 2006 SG, I figured I would come here to ask. Hence the, "Does anyone know if Progressive makes an 11" shock forthe Street Glide?"

I was also looking for some information on Dunlop tires, should I go to www.dunloptires.com? Please advise......

Thanks Glideman, do you by chance have the part number for the shocks?

I have 11 1/2" 440's on my Road Glide. I don't know for sure if they make 11" shocks for the touring line.
But if it helps Any shock that fits the Electra Glide standard, classic, or ultra, the Road King or Glide will fit your Street Glide. The touring family frame is the same on all touring models.

That all said I'd be a little leery of 11" shocks on any of them.
It's only a 1/2" but I'm already dragging boards and frame rails.

I agree, and lots of hardware scraping on corners. I have 12½'s and I would consider that minimal for touring and being able to take corners competently. I would worry about clearance under the fender, too, and would call Progressive for their opinion before committing.

i use 11-1/2 in 440s and find the ride to be better than the stock air shocks (road king custom, 12 inch shocks) but the floorboards do scrape occassionaly.
