Replaced my 11 in stock HD shocks with 12 in 412's. I don't bottom out anymore but it is a stiff ride. If you are looking for comfort, look at a different setup.
I put a set of 11.5 inch 412s on my Triumph Thunderbird 1600. This lowered the big a good 2 inches, which is what I was looking for...lower the seat so my feet are more solid on the ground when stopping. Over all I am pleased with the look; however, the ride is a little stiffer than expected. Also, the OEM washers will not fit on the bottom part of the shock. Thunderbird riders will have to change out the washers for smallers ones. I opted for the ones on the xchoppers site. Hope this helps.
