Shotgun!
It's been a while since I have heard anything about Shotgun Shocks. Any new comments good or bad. Heard they were the latest and greatest but haven't seen much on here about them. Anybody got some?

First, the compressor isn't a microscopic unit liKe the SAS. It's full size with full size ability.
Second, because it mounts under the tranny and is totally out of sight.
Third and most important, unlike the rest, the Shotgun is the only shock that loads the barrel with compressed air from both sides instead of one. This allows damping to be set with air pressure instead of oil or springs or in some air shocks, none at all.. It also allows you to stiffen up and adjust both the ride and the damping on the fly.
You slam it with pressure instead of releasing air, so it will raise back up in a second instead of waiting two minutes for it to reinflate.
It also incorporates four seperate solenoids so no air can ever escape from either side or either barrel.

Bringing my bike down next week to the Santa Ana shop were they make them. Their gonna do the install right there. Feel real good about having the company that makes the system do the install. Got a heck of a deal (and it included the tranny fluid change)
