would the Ohlins ride better than the air ride? I've read some people say you can't get a good ride with air ride since the air has to support the weight an control movement. what are the chances of failure with air ride?

Airride is smooth, the SHotguns can set height and rebound (firmer ==> soft). What is the engine leaks or your brake lines? In the shotguns the air gets locked in so if the compressor doesn't work or the lines leak the air doesn't escape from the shocks

And the slammed look is just awesome

PS don't know about Legend

thanks, I have heard alt about shotgun, and they seem to do more, if there RELIABLE, its worth a serious look at!!!!!!
thats good to know that air stays there, that was my major concern, your right, at bike eventS, which I go to OFTEN, slamming my bike while it sits will be BADASS AT THE LEAST!!!!

ok some more eye candy, look under the lip of rear fender, I have the custom dynamics that wraps the whole lip, plus the custom dynamics rear led, with the outside fire ring, than they all light up, had to buy new bullets to fit bulbs as stocks wouldn't work, and these are WAY BRIGHTER....about a day or so away, now he has to dress the bike up, I have a chrome billet Motor mount over the switch housing, actually switch attaches to it. its a nice mod.....theres a lot ill snap as we go these are from him.....


you can see the led strip underneath, the rear bullets haven't been swapped out yet



nice new Metzler 880 260mm tires!!!



I really like how these bars turned out, its turns just fine, he said it could of been two inches lower as the front blinkers are now mounted down on the lower fork trees, with the White led running, than Amber when blinker is selected, so ill have a lot of white light forward, and at night that amber always messed up the lightening on bike, when I throw my blues on, now with the blue digital speedo, and flush mount blue led gas gauge and cap, will look SWEET AT NIGHT, IM STOKED....
