Default Anything other than rebels that come with 10" shocks from factory?

I've been looking around for a set of rebel shocks to lower the rear of my shadow a bit and now my brother wants to do the same to a virago and I foresee doing the same on future bikes because I like low but don't want a hardtail and $200 progressives are more than I would spend.

So are there any other bikes that came stock with short shocks? Surely the rebel can't be the only one.
Not just Honda either. I don't care if they are Harley or Yamaha or even some dirtbike shocks. Just looking for the info.

Thanks.

scoot works has lowering brackets for some models that lets you use your existing shocks. all it does is changes the angle of the shock to give you the drop without sacrificing ride quality. im about to get a set for my shadow.

Yeah I know about the different lowering brackets but, just like everything else to do with this bike, they don't make them for it. I'm in the process of making some of my own actually but I'm just always keeping my eyes open for rebel shocks too.

But there aren't any bikes out there that just came with 10" shocks? The rebel is really the only one?
