Default Air Suspension Question??

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to purchase rear air suspension with compressor tonight or tommorow. I've seen several brands out there but not sure as to which one is the best price and best quality. I ride and an 07 Springer Classic FLSTSC. Im looking to make the right choice the first time for once and would like your guys help.

You won't be disappointed with the Shotgun. Contact JD directly and tell him you are a forum member for probably the best pricing. It's worth every single penny of it!

I'm considering the SS. Here's my question: can I lower the rear almost slammed and still have some cushion?

With the Shotgun - yes. You can independantly set the damping and height.

Shotgun is by far and away the absolute best. You will not regret it, and will wish you had done it sooner.

Get it direct from JD - he is great to work with and supplies the best support I know of. Tell him tunaman said 'hey'!
