Have a 13 Street Glide and have Ohlins 3-3's 13" shocks on the rear. Love the ride, but for looks, I would like to get it back down to 12" shocks and not lose any travel. Current shock travel is 3 1/32 inch. Whats available out there?
Your shocks were built by Howard Messner of HDF sponsor Motorcycle Metal. Give him a call, as he can probably rebuild them as you want. If you are not the original owner of them, you can shorten them a little by (carefully) slackening the blue locknut at the bottom and screwing in the bottom eyelet. You will need to disconnect them to do that. Costs nothing, takes a few minutes!
The 2-2A's have 3.25" stroke and are 12 1/8" long. The E series(#2) shocks will always(same/same) have more stroke than the D series(3#)shocks due to the divider piston in the body taking up space.
