Default Shotgun

Another very very satisfied Shotgun owner on the books!!! Only had it on for three days and I can't believe how great it rides lower than it rode at stock height. Slam it, it rides great. Tighten it up for some aggressive cornering. This thing is great!!! Anyone that is thinking about doin it go ahead and take the leap. The stories from everyone are so true. I was one of those just thinking lower it and be done. I am super glad I went this route instead. JD is serious about customer service also. He had a good conversation with me before he took my order and told me that if I had any questions during the install that I could give him a shout. All around a very great experience.

Nice looking Train.
Looking to lower mine but I can't seem to make up my mind on which way to do it. Would love to go the shotgun route but I have such a long list of things (doesn't everybody) I want to do I'll probably end up with one of the cheaper options.

Wide Open, Like most have said you would not regret it one bit. Yeah it is a good chunk of change but by far the best ride on two wheels I have ever had. Make sure ya kick it around a good bit before you decide. That's what makes this stuff so fun is there is so much out there. Have to make it your own. JD Swiper thank you for the comment. That bike ya have there in your sig is sick bro.

Looks killer brother. JD is a excellent business man with a killer product. Next must have mod is to lower the front 2" and install the Ricor Intiminator. Those two combined makes for a better ride. Its only money brother.

I've been researching air suspensions for a few weeks, several of these systems look like they are just a set of double acting air cylinders. Is there an actual shock in one of the tubes, or is it really just a pair of air cylinders?

Probably a trade secret what's inside those, but since they also adjust rebound and ride stiffness, I'd say there's more than just air inside.

I have been sold, it's at the very top of this list for this coming winters mods. I hope I like it as much as everyone else. I have been "slamming" before anyone even knew what that meant. I have always had all of my bikes draggin ***! Now, finally, it can be done right.
