knight rider is sorry for not jumping in on this conversation sooner, i am busy building my new 1260 nitrous motor, turn computer on about once a week.... Rebel shocks are nine inches. lowered the bike three inches. had a 18inch wheel on back clearance was close but never made contact I weigh 220. then put a 16 on the back, had tons of clearance. rebel shocks actually have larger spring coils than stock kz shocks they are nice and stiff and look cool, plus they bolt right on! good luck and welcome the wonderful KZ addiction, It is a magical journey, My sickness started with a broken exhaust stud.i am taking out the inner fender anyway so that would work great, i will PM him and find out what he used. Just so i know, what is the stock length? I prematurley threw away the old rusted out shocks on my bike.

Just to clarify this a bit, some stock sportster shocks are 13-3/8". Other stock ones I found were 11.5". The shocks made for lowering sportsters can be had (on evilbay) in lengths from 10.5 to 11 inches. Also found various lengths of the Rebel shocks. I'm in the market because some jackoff P.O. cut the stock ones on my 900A4 down to 9-1/4 in. and then put a piece of pipe over the shaft so they act like struts.sportster shocks are about 11.5" long and there is an outfit from colorado that is making up 10.5" but they are really pricy and they are just cut down stock harley shocks if you go down to your freindly neighborhood hd dealer they might even have some takeoffs that they would be willing to part with reasonable.
