Anybody run the shotgun shock without the compressor? I don't want a compressor attached but I want an air ride (SAS is too much dough). Thoughts from you shotgun guys?

I guess you could always use a compressor in the garage with the right fitment and tube to set your shocks, but why would you do that. You couldn't adjust out on the road. You need air pressure....

The shotgun shocks let you ride low and still have suspension travel or ride stock height and have a smooth as silk ride. You can raise the bike the bike in a couple of seconds or dump the air for that added pimp look when you park. I met JD at the Easyriders show and he explained the system from A to Z, the best part is 1 week later he met me halfway to pickup the system and showed a bike that just had the shock installed and explained what the toggle switches do. The shock is well made along the compressor that it comes with it. Bottom line is i am extremely happy with the system and money well spent.
P.S
Whats up Anubisss!!!!!!

I've had both systems on my softail, and the Shotgun set-up is way better....hands down.
