The 1200-S shocks are 13 1/2"

Ihope i love them ! They cost me $425.00 off Ebay. They're off a 2001 1200s , with less then 100 miles on it . Supposedly they sell for over $600.00 new .

Ouch, the price has gone up since I bought for $188.00, NIB. The Connecticut guy must have run out of inventory.

TSI Harley sold the last pair on Ebay about a month ago.

I don't know if they're flooding the market with their parts, but TSI Harley has got some great deals on ebay. Most everything of theirs is NIB, too.

I'm working on the V-Wing trinkets for my brother's bike.

I have 1200S Shocks, 1200S forks, and 1200S bars on my bike, and yes they are all different from a stock '04 883 or 1200R. 1200S forks are fully adjustible, just like the shocks.

This picture is still with 883 forks and bars.
