Since it's rather difficult to read your question, are you stating that you don't want a Shotgun Shock or SAS setup? Personally, I have a Shotgun Shock set up though I have a business card that I might be able to dig up from a different air shock company in California.

Most of us on the Softail Lo thread are probably using Shotgun Shocks. The vendor card I have at "another location" actually eliminates the need for a kickstand since two feet come down underneath. The onboard compressor can also be used to add air to the tires and includes gauges. That set-up is or at least was slightly less than the Shotgun Shock set up. Personally, I had already had the Shotgun Shock set-up installed when I met the other vendor at a local bike rally and don't have any feed back on the other setup. If you are interested, I'll try to find the card later and post the information.

When you get serious, do a search here for Shotgun Shock and the answer will become obvious. Far too many recent threads to repeat the same argument, but suffice it to say Shotgun Shock was by far the best mod I've ever done.

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.
