I put the 13" on mine and I was concerned the seat would be higher but it is not. I did not measure before and after but I know it is not higher that before

I was running 13" Ohlins on my bike , the FLTRX comes with 12" shocks like the street glide , I switched to 12" JRi B shocks and they run smoother than the 13" Ohlins , me I prefer the height of the 12" shock , the ride is still great

I have the 12" A JRI shocks and so far they work great on my 07 Street Glide. I still am in the break in stage and will make the final adjustments with Howard in the next week. Perfect timing before I head to the Smokies.

Like tj316 I went with the 12" JRI B shocks, I might also want to mention that I have -2" monotubes up front.

+1 on the JRi 12"-ers. I put them on my Road King, and now refuse to remember what the original ride was like.
