Default Shotgun Shocks ????

Does anyone know anything about these? I've done a lot of research and just want a honest opinion from someone who has them or knows someone who does. I really need to upgrade the shocks on my 04 RK Custom and its between the Shotgun shocks or the Progressive 970-2004. Thanks in advance!

Seriously, do a search for "Shotgun Shocks" here on the forum. You'll find dozens of threads on the product and the manufacturer. The bagger system is newer than the softail system, but works the same way. J.D. is absolutely THE MAN when it comes to customer service and product support. Send him an email or a PM and he'll give you a forum discount, too, I'm pretty sure.

I personally have them on both of my softails. Wouldn't hesitate to put them on again, and recommend them all the time. I rarely ride my bagger, or I'd probably be looking at putting them on there, too.

Shotgun shock costs approximately twice as much as the Progressive, but performs 100x better. Now go call or email J.D. and order yourself one. He'll take care of you. Here's the link. All you gotta do is click it...

Okay sorry maybe I wasn't clear at first Whats better Shotgun OR Progressive. I know that they're two different styles and that's why I'm asking. BOTH shocks are close in price. I didn't research THIS site but I did research the web first. Im still new to this site. So SORRY if my question is repetitive but I just don't want to drop $1500 on some POS.

I don't think he ventures much out of the softail forum. At least lets hope not......

At first I thought it said "shotgun stocks" and I was going to say "the camouflage ones"...
