hi guys i need your help again im looking to upgrade to air shocks on 2007 fatboy im leaning towards the shotgun shock air ride. But my mechanic hasnt heard of them so he told me to try either SAS, legend, or the progressive airtail. I need some pros and cons with any system you guys are using?

 

Of the three you listed, I like none. Shotgun and Platinum provide a smoother ride than any of those and call all be had for less. He has not heard about Shotgun as they are relatively new, but the owner JD has been around the block with air rides.

 

i figured that drew when i asked him about it he looked at me kinda funny are you still going to find out the price for me tomorrow.

 

It's just about time for me to pull the trigger on my air ride system too Drew. Could you shoot me a quote.

 

Yessir. PM me first thing in the am with a reminder please. MY pm box gets so full that I lose track.

 

My main concern and question on the Shotgun Shock, is I keep hearing "tapping" in the installing procedure. What is tapped? If you ever took the system off, could the stock shocks be mounted back up? Sorry if this is a dumb-*** question, but I have no mechanical ability, and am weary of cutting, tapping, or modifying the frame in any way. Do all air systems require this "tapping"?

 

You tap a hole that is under the transmission I believe and this does not affect the regular shocks at all. These holes are used to mount the compressor. The regular shocks can go right back on.

 

Perfect. Thanks Drew! I'll P.M. you in the morning for a quote.

 

I'm thinking of going this way too. PM sent'
