I know what u mean...I felt the same way but with this set up you can achieve the best ride quality you can get from a softail.and if you ride 1up and 2up at different times a lot you have to adjust to compensate for that.it will be a flip of a couple switches.

Tell them to keep the compressor and cut the price down to $700 and see if they go for it.

I have 422's on my Heritage which handle very well but I also have a few screwed up disc in my lower back & bumps on the parkways at 50+ feel like a knife if I don't push up in time with my legs. Does the shotgun really absorb bumps better the conventional softail shocks? Otherwise I don't need it.

Seems like that would defeat the purpose of going to the shotgun.

I don't have any back issues but I did have 422's and I can tell you they don't even come close to comparing to Shotgun. If you have any concerns at all call JD. He is an honest guy and would much rather have another satisfied customer than a one time sale. If it's not going to do what you are expecting, he will tell you.

Greg, we have a few local parkways that I ride often that have joints that have been filled with blacktop that sticks up 3-4" from the surface. Hit these at any speed & it's jolting. Lift up with your feet & the back end jumps. Tell me you think the shotgun will absorb these grenades & I just may try it.

I would say to go ahead and pull the trigger and get them.
