These are great ! I've put about 500 miles on my 2003 Sportster 1200 Custom since I put these on and I'm so happy. Went with the 12.5" which gave me that little extra travel and with the heavy duty springs I'm on running them on the 2nd notch and not bottoming any more. I loaded it with camping gear and necessary items for a week long camping trip and only put them in the 3rd notch. No bottoming and rides better than she ever has. I'm extremely happy with these.
