Anyone have 13" shocks on a Nightster or 48?

Rsd
Roland Sands Design I believe, because those custom parts on the bikes are RSD parts. Go to their website. And go to 'hard parts', under 'product'.

I have a chance to buy 11" progressive 412's for my 48 at a real good price. I'm only 128 lbs. the stock shocks are beating me to death. I was going with the 12" but can't pass up the 11" deal. Will it give me a softer ride, or should I just buy the 12" shocks thanks guys

So your photo mentions the 13" touring shocks on a Sportster, but I don't see it in your chart?
Myself and many others have done that swap and felt there was a big improvement over the stock shocks. Did you find them to be one of the shocks you didn't want to comment on?

When we made that report we did not think to include the Touring take off shocks for Sportsters as an option. That was an oversight on our part. We are doing more testing this fall and will be updating that report. The Touring take off shocks will be in it and will have a point rating of somewhere between 50-60 for SPORTSTERS. They are a very good alternative to the stock Sportster shocks, and better than many aftermarket shocks for those looking for a more plush ride on a Sportster.
