I've been on the boards for about 6 years. Everyone who mentions the Progressive 412 don't recommend them. The 430 is highly recommended as is the 440 and the new 444. I have the 440 stock length and they work well for me. A little light with the wife on the pillion seat. It is recommended to order the heavy duty spring if you are a stout guy or ride a lot with the wife.

If you move to the Dark Side then the tyre will look wider - but I'm not sure that I should be calling a pastor to the Dark Side.

What? You had asked for an 11" shock - mine are taller at 11.5".

No $hit?!?
I can't imagine EVER going lower than 11.5"! The rear tire will rub on the underside of the fender and sever the wires going to the taillight and signals. Don't ask how I know this!

Yep I have to question an 11 inch on the R3T, it may be one half inch too much. Can't assume it will work without making sure, the stock is 12.5.

12.5" stock length on the Touring?
Same as the Roadster then. With the potential of loading even more weight on the Touring (I never even rode two up), I really question that anything less than 11.5" would work.
