Default Shotgun Question.

I just installed my shotgun and I saw where some put the compressor as far over as possible and some put it like I did. When I installed mine, it was tight but I got it to fit as you see in the picture. Just wondering if this is right, or should it be somewhat under the transition or does it really matter?

Looks like the correct installation for bikes without ABS.....Looks like you're good to go.

If you're like me, the Shotgun is going to make your bike ride like crap. *

*because it's always slammed and because it looks amazing that way.

Honestly, I probably could have skipped buying the shotgun and just removed the shocks from my bike. Of course, I wouldn't be able to ride on the highway then.

Why not raise the rear end when riding and slam it to the ground when parked?
