Can't wait to see your bike slammed.
Nope, went with the BSS over the winter. Decided that duals aren't for me

Congrats bro you will not regret it. I too was skeptical of spending that much on a shock. But after having it, I can not imagine riding with out it.

The only thing I regret is just not pulling the trigger on the shotgun first .Could have saved myself some $$$$$. I went with the 422's first as well. They are not even close to the shotgun. Not even close.

That being said, my 422's ride very nice so I hope the shotgun is a night and day difference like everyone says.

Don't regret the 21" at all, I love it. The 18" was cool too.

422's will be on the block
You're not going to see a day an night ride difference between the 422s and the Shotguns. But, you will have ride height adjustments on the fly and when you go from solo to two up you will be very please with the shotguns.

If you don't care about ride height and you ride solo all the time the shotguns are over kill.

Could not disagree more.I had the 422's first and been running the shotgun for about a year now. It is a HUGE difference to a dailed in shotgun, not even close
