The ones in the picture are made by Progressive but are sold under another name, which excapes me at the moment. I have another set of Progressive 13.5" that I may put on, but I have yet to decide which set I want to use. The other set will be sold.

I did not think it was hard at all. I jacked the bike up a few inches and put a 6x6 block under the engine case. This got it up a little, leveled it, and let the swing-arm/wheel drop down a little. I then removed the old shocks and installed the new ones. I put on the bottom mount first, then lifted up on the fender while sliding the top of the shock on the bolt. I took a little effort but was no big deal.
I can swap the shocks in about 15-20 minutes now.

**With these shocks being 13.5" I did remove the drive belt chrome cover, it rubbed on the front end of it a little.
If you use a 12" or shorter shock I doubt you would have to do that.
