I just finished installing my new shotgun shocks in my '05 Night Train. Works great. Kinda late so no test ride yet.
One quick question. I tightened the shoulder bolts as tight as I can get em, but there is still a small gap between the head of the bolt, and the eyelet. I can wiggle the washer pretty easily. Is this normal? I'm assuming it's to allow the eyelet to move on the shoulder of the bolt. I just want to make sure. I believe it was the same way on the stockers.

you are correct the shoulder bolts act as an axle.
