SG questions

Looking to get a new bike...

I've read that the Street Glides have 1" shorter shocks, true? And compared to what?

The lean angle specs show the Road King leans .1 degree more left. I expected to see a real difference from the -1".

What gives?

The SG has 1" shorter shocks than the other tourers.

1" shorter in the rear only. The floor boards on my street glide are higher than other ultras I've ridden which is likely what the lean angle is all about.
