NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Do NOT go 12"!!!
Stay with OEM 12.5" and go with 13" if you have the inseam, 31" or more.
Agree with Warpo that a 140 75R/17 (does not have to be Avon Cobra, there are other options) on front and a 240/55R/16 Exedra Max rear is the best set-up!

I'm pretty happy with the front forks. There are 4" more suspension travel there than there was in the Road Glide. I'm not sure what would work. I had thought of trying Harleys Air shocks. My old neighbor had a set built for a husband a nd wife who were built like I am. But I'll probably just stick with stock for now. @1olbull I think runs 444s and likes them.

The 444 are very good shockies, I would like to try some Wilbers as they may be even better.
I have run Hagon and they are fine, but I'd put them ½ step behind the 444s.
Re: your R3T:
I would give the 444s the nod because of the auto damping and easy hand twist pre-load features.
These would be invaluable and provide easy quick adjustment for riding two up!
