Default 11" Progressive 412 on the Nightster?

Would this lower the bike more than the stock suspension?

I'm getting 12.5" from end to end and 11" from middle to hole to middle of hole on the stock suspension.

Thanks

It's my understanding the 883L and 1200N both use an 11" shock from the factory. I don't see using the 11" 412 would make things any different except to say the sag won't be as much with the superior shock.

Stock on N and low is already 11" far as I know. 412 will ride just a hair better but not that much (had them on mine for about 10k miles). Have 11.5 now and still okay but not as good as 12.5" would be.
