If they are for who I think they are for he may find them to be a bit stiff because he may be a bit too light for them. If these RK shocks are the stock length then I think they are 12.75" if memory serves me correctly. The only issue when you install them is spacing them so they clear the belt guard which will not be an issue in this case since he has removed the belt guard. I've looked into shocks quite a bit, i'll give you a call tomorrow and we can talk about it.
edit: If you need any spacers, I have some extra ones from my progressive 440's that i finally got around to installing.

First post!!!
Whats up guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the info, I found some RK shocks new on Craigslist and wasnt sure if they would work or not but after I read this thread I picked them up. I don't think I will go with the lowering bracket though, I fabricate to pay the bills so I think I am going to move the mounts to the bottom of the swing arm which will be exactly the amount the RK shocks are longer! This will also give me a reason to smooth out the ugly welds on the swingarm and get rid of the ugly gloss paint. I'm stoked! I will post pics of the final product.
