I am looking to lower my 1995 FXDL at least an inch. Does anyone know the stock shock size? Would 12 inch progressive 412 get me where I want to go?
Thanks

 

If you go on progressives website and enter your bike info, they will tell you your stock size.

 

Stock shock length on a 95 FXDL is 12.5 inches. The 12 inch shocks should drop the rear a little more than just the half inch difference in shock length.

 

Here is the link to find the stock size

Thanks Guys!

 

I'm going to have to measure what's on there. Right after I got the bike a few weeks ago. I dropped it off at a shop to get it inspected and asked them to look into lowering it. They were looking for a lowering kit but said they don't make one for my year and the only thing I can do is put on shocks. They said the shocks on there are 13.5 inches, could that be right?

 

Check the link above, but I doubt it.

 

link says oem is 12.5 & 12.6?

 

What is the best way to measure the shocks? I think someone put on aftermarket shocks to raise the bike. Now that I see the picture attached I see a progressive sticker on the shock.( The bike is on the kickstand and has all the clearance) I bet these are the 13.5 inch shocks from the progressive site. Has anyone used the HD lowering shock kit http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444876453 4&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374309448718&ASSORTMEN T%3C%3East_id=2534374309448718&locale=en_US&bmUID= 1331724621094&bmLocale=en_US&WebLogicSession=PgALd 52XDr1ULrfy2ratzecIyCbU1Y3Up7NXCnR3IDGR5RS9SCx8!-709217339!hiwpbmsp04.ihd.hd!7005!8005!133172449133 0

 

Those look like Progressive 440 shocks, mine are 12.5 440's and yours certainly look longer.
