+===== HD Air Shocks from BT Models =====
+Some folks have tried using the air shocks that are stock on some Big Twin models as alternatives for their Sportster models. The satisfaction with this option varied quite a bit. As all changes in suspension are dependent on accounting for the specific model bike, the rider/passenger weights & cargo weight, the idea is that air shocks can be adjusted for those factors.

+My determinations about H-D air shocks are listed below. I welcome edits and corrections.\\
+Per searches of XLF, various H-D fiche websites, H-D P&A Catalog & website, and eBay:\\
+- 2014-2016 Touring air shocks\\
+--- 54662-09 12.00" c-c (c-c = length between centers of the mounting eyes when shock is fully extended)\\
+--- 54000036 12.75" c-c\\
+- 2009-2013 Touring air shocks\\
+--- 54662-09 12.00" c-c\\
+--- 54565-09 12.75" c-c\\
+------ NOTE: This part number no longer comes up on some sites & some sites list 54000036 as the replacement part for the 2009-2013 "tall-shock" Touring models\\
+- For H-D touring-model air shock part numbers that use the xxxxx-xx format:\\
+--- If the third digit of the part number is a "6", it's a short (12.00") shock\\
+--- If the third digit of the part number is a "5", it's a tall (12.75") shock\\
