Shotgun
When I was looking for air I researched hard because this is a big cost. I went with Shotgun because of the adjustability to have a great ride with a compression, rebound style of shock. Unlike most air systems that just raise and lower like airbags on my F-350. This shock is the best mod I had done to my sled so far! Oh and the excellent reviews not the cost. IMO

Are we going to find out what company makes this new product? From what I have read over the years it seems that it will be hard to beat Shotgun, but for those of us that are not running air yet it would be nice to know of all the options out there that we can research before buying a system.

I don't want to hijack prost34's thread, but if TNB could give the name of this new company that would be great. Prost34 seemed like he wanted to do some of his own research too along with getting opinions from those here on the board
I have done allot of air rides on hot rods,air line blows down it goes,did not know bout the shotgun having no air in the lines,wheres a good place to buy a shotgun at a reasonable cost?

Here's more information:

Custom pheumatic bike stand and air suspension

Sorry, no website information on the card. As mentioned, I met him at one of the local events where he had his bike setup. He basically told me that he got tired of having problems with an air setup he originally ran (compressor issues) and decided to make his own setup. Just for clarification, the air setup he had problems with was not Shotgun Shocks, but another brand which I won't mention nor has it been mentioned.
Edit: Attached is a photo I took of his bike.

And just my opinion on the SAS with everything self contained to include the compressor, if the compressor goes I'm guessing you'd have to ship the entire shock setup off for repair? In the case of the Shotgun, you'd simply unbolt the compressor and replace it. Regardless of the system, myself, I'd prefer things to be in components for easier maintenance.
Now this new system with air legs I'd guess you'd call it, I'd like to see a picture of that. I'm trying to visualize how the shock body is built if it contains the legs. Definitely would be sweet to have an air functioning center stand. LOL Be like a damn indy car!

I still couldn't be happier with my shotgun. And I have never heard of them failing but I do know the way it's set up, in the event of a failure when riding, you won't be slammed, in fact, the bike is raised if it fails. Pretty good piece of mind for me.
