You can go with 10 1/2" shocks, but if you weigh more than 185 lbs, you would have to wind up the shock s preload so tight, you may as well have struts. I have a set of 10 1/2" Black progressives, I'll sell you at a reasonable price. But again, how much rider and load do you anticipate? I weigh 235-40 and 12" inchers, borderline work for me as to necessary preload for general riding. There are a few lower profile tires available that will get you down there a little, too.
