Default Shotguns ?

Theres a lot of posting about shotguns just curious what exactly is the ride difference or is this strictly for adjusting the height of the bike ?

Not just the height but the firmness/rebound
As well. The ability to adjust for your height and
weight or for a passenger is invaluable.

Yes, it is much more than ride height. Once the height/firmness is set where you want it you can adjust the rebound/firmness as well. It is the design of this unit with it's lack of features that can fail and the simple install that really make it a marvel of modern mc technology. Most air ridees use multiple air lines to fill teh separate cylidners on teh shocks. Should the air lines fail, you will lose all the air in the system. There is only 1 air line in this shock that goes from the compressor to the shock. IF the air were to break...the shock would still hold the air with a check valve.

I have not heard of any air line failures either. To further this conversation, having a company that will back their product as Shotgun does is quite difficult to find in the MC industry. Customerf service should be as important as making a sale to everyone, but unfortunately it is not in the times we live. I will make a new video today to illustrate what I am explaining so you can better understand.

I am glad you posted this I was going to post a similar thread .Are these shotguns really that good?I love the ride height adjustment.But does it really give you that cadillac ride.All this talk about the shotgun is making me want to put my wheels on hold and do this mod first.

Yes, it does give you that Cadillac ride. It must be experienced first hand to really understand as words fail to describe how2 smooth it is.

Agreed. There is no comparison.
