Yes, 13". As of Monday, they did not have any 13's in stock.

:indian_chief:

I was there yesterday and was told that 3 sets of the 330's should arrive around the second week of October. As one set is spoken for, if anyone is interested in the other two I would suggest that they contact Traxxion asap.

Cool beans Barry. You'll love them. I just had them order another set for me for my 4-speed frame, which I was happy to hear BiTubo makes them for too! :2vrolijk_21:

Anybody with a set of 300's have a status report they could share? I am assuming it is night and day between the Bitubo's and stock 12 inchers. How do they compare with the progressives or the stock Harley 13 inchers? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I would like to maintain the lowered look on the SEEG but something has to be done about the suspension. Thanks.

I wrote it up on the previous page.  I have the 300MM which are about 11.8".  While the progressives that were on the bike were a lot better than stock, the Bitubos handle just as good and have a MUCH better ride than the progressives

I saw your write up along with others but wasn't sure if you had the 300's or 330's. If I would have read further back in the thread I would have found the answer to that. Sorry. There is quite a difference between the OEM 12" and 13" shocks and I have been contemplating going to the 13 inchers. I would prefer to maintain the stock look and geometry if I can find a 12"+/- shock that will perform. I tried a 12" progressive but wasn't totally sold on it. Seems like the stock 13" provided a better ride. Can you make any kind of comparison between the 300 Bitubo and a stock 13" Harley shock? Can someone please convince me to go out and spend mo money.

I can compare them to what comes on a SE Vrod...the Bitubo's win, hands down.  No comparison.
