Low suspension RT

I bought a 2009 R12RT last fall and it turns out is or was a low model.. The seat has been changed to the stock height 2 piece before I got it. I'm wondering where I can find the specs on the shocks to see if they have been changed. I'm kinda tall so I don't need the lower suspension, but I'm also kinda old so my real concern is ride quality. Only 19,000 miles but the ride is a bit harsh which I'm wondering if the 'low' shocks cause that. Can anyone post the ground clearance height when off the center stand so I can compare? Thanks, I'm betting this info exists I'm just poor at finding it.
 
I have a 2010 RT, lowered, might be same specs as 2009 main changes were engine and switchgear.

Lowered suspension 750 millimeters (29.5”) including an extra-low seat (available only without seat heating).
