Question:
Could I get this 3594 ball mount with a shorter shank I am using it on a 2013 Harley Davidson Street Glide and it needs to be 4 inches shorter or do I just have to cut and redrill the pin hole ?

I believe the closest thing we have to the Sportframe Drawbar part # 3594 that you referenced that is 4 inches shorter would be the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45027. The length of this ball mount from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole is 6-1/4 inches and it has a rise of 2-5/8 inches.
Basically this ball mount is 4 inches shorter than the ball mount you referenced but its rise is about 1-1/2 inches lower.
Curt Class I Drawbar - 2-5/8" Rise, 3-1/4" Drop - 6-1/4" Long - 2,000 lbs
Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 4" Rise - 10" Long - 2,000 lbs
