Rear suspension

I have a 2017 Road King and I am looking at raising the rear end a little bit to give me some more inseam due to my height. Does anyone know the length of the stock shocks on a Road King?

I believe they are 13".

Others can chime in to confirm or correct.

Standard length touring shocks are 12.75. But are almost always refered to as 13. The "lowered" shocks are 12.0 inches. In your situation, I would look for at least a 13 inch shock. And if your looking for that little extra.... Go 13.5 inches.
