The stock shocks are 10.5".....you measure from the center of the mounting bolts on each end (top & bottom).
Somewhere around 12" - 12.5" is about the most you want without the stock fender looking goofy. The Cafe' bikes are using 13.5" and that is about the longest you can go without get into belt/chain tension problems as the swing arm is at a pretty steep angle and vertical movement changes the belt/chain tension.
