RE: Euro Nightster
I believe the Euro XL1200N does in fact have 13.25" shocks as well as fender mount tag vs. side and perhaps some other differences.
To answer your question, yes...you can put whatever length you like on there, most of us in the US change shocks to shorter or longer anyway to suit our need, I've had 11", 11.5" vs. the stock 11.75" on my custom. I think the newer lows and nightsters are running 11" in the US.
Just looking at it the Euro is obviously taller they might even be 13.5" or 14.25":

Not sure whay they made the Euro bikes taller except to compete with the cafe style bikes and sport-standards from Triumph, Ducati, BMW etc. That rear tag with reflectors hangin off it really looks bad but side mounts are not legal from what I undertand not to mention their tags over there are like billboards (I thought my MD tag was bad at about 8.5" X 4.75" buts its tiny in comparison).

RE: Euro Nightster
The uk Nightsters have the rear shocks of the 883R fitted as standard, weather this because are roads are bad or the fact that we have to have the number plates fited in the centre of the bike under the tail light i dont know.
But a road test in a v twin magazine in the uk said with the rear shocks off the 883R and the front end off a 1200 low the Nightster is the best handeling sporty they have ever rode .
