I sure will guys...The seller sent me an e-mail saying he will ship on monday. I don't own a jack to lift my bike so i already called a buddy of mine to get one(borrow) A.S.A.P. Will post pics for sure. I hope these guys with them already installed saying how great they are aren't blowing smoke up our a$$e$...We'll see...my decesion to buy this system was based on thier reviews compared to other systems.

Gonna need a tap as well. You'll have to tap the two holes at the bottom of the transmission to 7/16 14 to mount the compressor.

No problem. lol...I don't work for them. I live in Southern California and was fortunate enough to be able to ride in for the install. I have spoken highly of the Shotgun because it works so well for me. I'm happy that people with other air ride systems are happy with theirs and like I said, I've never riden a bike with another set up so can't compare the ride. They may be better and I don't know it. When I started researching the different ones available I just didn't like the little problems that seemed to be mentioned with some of the others. The Shotgun addresses those and I took a shot on it that panned out nicely.
