Default Shotgun shocks or Hogpro Matrix wheels
I have only enough cabbage to do one of the following two mods...

Rims or Suspension?

I have done alot of work to my bike the past 3 months and am pretty happy with her for now. Im getting the lower forks chromed courtesy of the old lady for xmas. So that covers that.

If you can only afford to do one, do the wheels. More bang for the $. You could always just use lowering bolts for now and then get the shotgun when funds increase.

Hello Pooch, hope you are doing good! Of course.... with us being a wheel company... we would always recommend custom wheels but the Shotgun shocks are truly an AMAZING product. VERY SAFE! VERY GOOD QUALITY! We can help you on a VERY good price on these if you are interested. Give us a call if you're looking for a discount. We have been selling Shotgun Shocks for about 5-6 years now. 1-888-926-2673

Tough call on that. I'd have to think on it for a while. If you are anything like me you know you are going to both eventually regardless so it does not really matter which gets done first.
