Welcome to the group! I put the 11.5" Progressives on mine and love it. Lowered the back about a half inch or so and the quality of the shocks are much better, too.

WELCOME TO THE X GANG
Progressive 11.5 will give a better ride for sure and sit down the bike.<< Just like SouthernXer said.

Thanks for the input.
Is there a certain brand and price and place to find them.
Progressive is the brand and useally the 412s are ones that are affordable.If do a search for Progressive shocks you will find that most places have them for about the same price but might find a sale on some if your lucky.

depends if you want to modify the rear fender or not. Are you going with larger rear tire?
