422's or Shotgun
Just replaced my stocks with 422 and so far the ONLY benefit is the lowered bike. I've played with the preset for a few weeks now and while I can get a "nice" ride it's hardly worth the 400 + install. I looked hard at the shotguns and for various reasons decided not to go with them. Everyone raves about them just too bad they don't have a distributor/installer here on the east coast of Canada.

As for the install it is VERY easy you just need to support the bike off of the ground when removing the old shocks and installing the air compressure and the new air shocks.
I watched JD install mine and he did it in about one hour, and that was with me asking questions and JD answering the phone calls from customers.

Look bro
Ok so I have done the research and the math and have tested both the shotgun is the way to go it doesn't bleed down and the ride can be adjusted and rebound and be made to ride however you want. I might add that this system comes with lifetime warranty and I have personally talked with the inventor (cool dude jd) he is a true inavator of the system. He personally installed my shotgun shock and I couldn't be more happy.
thanks for purchasing shotgunshock
