I had problems with the swingarm hitting the stop for the centerstand
with my longer shocks. it was only a problem when the bike was
parked or airborn :)

I hope I'm not going to have a real problem. I'm about to use a set of13.25
shocks on my Ambo. Anyone know of any real problems with that?

the centerstand. I think Guzziology recommends 13s to give a little
more angle to the swingarm and keep the oil from migrating.

approx 12.5" or approx. 13" . Anybody know why/reason/better choice,
