These are road king air springs... it's a mod that is done by some iron
owners... there is actually a whole thread on it somewhere around here.
I bought these for under $100 on eBay then also bought a lowering kit
to keep it looking cool and stock... I run no air in them with just myself,
then put about 5-8 psi in them when doing two up... they work great...

Road King & Touring rear shocks are typically 13" eye-to-eye.
If you dont want to use lowering blocks you can get
Street Glide air shocks which are 12" eye-to-eye. Of course
you can also use lowering blocks with the SG 12" too...
I believe the prefix numbers go something like this:
545 is 13"
546 is 12"
I have a set of 13" Road King shocks with new Amsoil ShokTherapy
fluid that I dont need. I removed then from the OL's Iron, had to go
with the 12" StreetGlides since she's vertically challenged. If anyone
is interested in them just let me know...
good luck,
T.

Decided to go stock black HD pipes to start with. Thinking V&H 3inch slipons later. My first HD so i'm happy with the sound it makes at the mo. Will get progressive shocks, for some reason UK spec 15 inch shocks, I believe US get 13 inch shocks standard. Wan't lower than 15 inch but undecided how much lower. Enjoying the iron!
