Default I Went With....

...the Shotgun Shocks air ride for my 18 Fat Boy. Anyone already have those installed? How's it ride/perform? Install looks fairly simple but any tips would be appreciated. Also if AF Customs wasn't out of stock, I would have gotten their electric center stand too. That'll be ordered at some point though.

Thanks in advance!

When did Shotgun start making a system for 2018 & later Softails? Didn't know it was even available. Not heard anyone complain about the stock rear suspension on the 18 & newer bikes. Had to go read about it. Good to know!

I’d venture a guess they started making them for the M8’s within the last year or two. From what I’ve read, the customer service is really good, they have a lifetime warranty, it’s made in the US and has unlimited adjustability in ride height and rebound. And I have yet to see a bad review. Can’t wait for it to get here…
