I have a pair of 12" Progressive 44 Stds. left over from my last VTX. I understand that the OEM shock on our R3s is 12.5".
My question: Is anyone using the 12" 440 with either the OEM tire or with a 225/55 16 car tire. If so, are there any clearance issues and does the nonstock size significantly change the bike's geometry and hence its handling and performance characteristics?
I'm wondering if I should sell mine and get the same shock absorber in the 12.5" size?
