Default Installed my airide last night....

A big thanks to JD and Rudy of Shotgun Shock for giving me a great deal on my first mod....2009 HD Softail Deluxe with 3,000 miles bought 3 days ago...bike is going stock to gangster in one month(a record I hope!!)

JD and his crew were taking off to the Laughlin River Run and were all ready to roll and managed to fit my bike in...here are some pics

Stock the day of purchase:



at Shotgun shock:






JD himself stands behind his product:




FINAL PRODUCT: in the garage slammed:



Thanks again JD and Rudy and the other dude....haha!! Have fun in Laughlin!! More mods to follow.

Great website by the way!!!

Any issues using the stock kickstand? I installed the bolts (don't have the coin for Shotgun. Hopefully someday) and it is as low as yours. Judging by your pics.

So, how do those ride @ stock height?
Gotta ride good, I would hope.

Rode a buddies Deluxe about a yr ago.
He had air (not the Shotgun) but it went over
bumps as smooth as a car. It seemed pretty low
too.
