I can tell you that the shotgun is a great product but my biggest complaint is the inability to adjust quickly. A preset switch would be a major plus in my book, but I can't stand adjusting air anymore. I like the feature of dropping the bike at the local watering hole to look cool but that ends real quick when I have to go out 5 min before everyone else and try and find the sweet spot only to be 5 miles down the road and having to stop to get it "right". Yes I know that when you find the correct method it might be easy, but I'm to the point wanting simplicity...Mine will be on the block soon, I will post them in the for sale section...now to find to replacement.

Instead of dumping the air to lower the bike, I increase the pre-load air until the bike is slammed. When I'm ready to roll out, I just flip the back switch up to raise the bike to max height then double tap the pre-load just how I like it. Ready to roll in 5 seconds.
