Default Shotgun shocks and JD

Called Shotgun Shock the other day and spoke with JD. He took time to answer all of my questions and was very helpful and pleasant to speak with. Great discount for forum members, just call. System shipped the next day. American made and amazing service from the owner, hard to find that nowadays.

Can't wait to install, just hope my J&S jack gets here around the same time (ordered same day).


+1 for Shotgun Shock

+3 on that! JD is great and the Shotgun is worth every penny IMHO.

Install is finished, ran into a couple of hiccups but JD was very helpful and it appears to be functioning correctly. Ended up fabricating a new bracket and painted it black. I will put it through a shakedown run tomorrow. Now I just need the Heartland kit to suck the wheel into the fender.

Ride was much better than stock with it lowered and not messing with the settings too much. I will dial it in this weekend.

Here is the bracket I fabbed for the Rocker, not bad for a part made with a dremel and a file at midnight.....not sure yet if I will change it out for Chrome or relocate.

I took my Bike into JD at Shotgun Shocks today and had him do the install. JD and his wife are really nice people and they had my shocks installed in less than two hours. My ride has improved 1000%. Feels like I have a pillow under my ***. Just what I needed. I am very happy with my purchase. JD stands behind his Shotgun Shocks with a lifetime warranty.
