I don't know. Rob's does the same as mine. I ride mine aired up so it's not an issue. I air it up, then drop it an inch or two and stiffen the rebound. Rides great. When I park I dump it and watch people turn and look, lol!

Ya thats another advantage I found in a uneven parking spot !
I haven't been out for a long ride yet but it occurred to me the other day playing with the toggles that on a long ride I can bang it all the way down on smooth roads then all the way up after an hour or so changing the riding position enough to take the discomfort of seat , shoulders ect .. whatever is bothering me all on the fly ,so many advantages to having the Shotgun shocks !!

I thought I heard a little wine when I was dropped right down the other day !
I guess I should put her on the lift and check it out !
I usually don't ride all the way down because the roads are so bumpy here,thanks for the heads up !
Could ya just do a bit of grinding of the primary if it rubs a little??
I had to grind the bar that runs horizontaly in the swing arm just a mill or so because the eye let holes of the shock bottomed out hitting it and I didn't want any damage over time , it was a true ridged at that point !!
Cant beat the ride of the shocks though!!
