I'm pretty sure the stock length shock for that bike is 13" eye to eye, so you would need 12" shocks to lower it @1".

Looking for some progressive shocks for my 05 Dyna super glide.need to soften up the ride..I'm alittle heavy and ride 2 up ,not much weight there... was looking at the Heavy Duty ones......about $700.00 bucks... don't know if they were the 412's or 440's.........are they worth the money and will I tell any difference in my ride...........I replace the springs in my front end with progressive springs it help there.....but didn't cost as much as these shocks...
