I installed my shotgun with no issues in about 2 hours this morning. Woww, i went down some really beat up roads and the bike felt like it turned into a hovercraft. Thanks jd you make one hell of a product. I'll be sending plenty more riders your way soon.

Devilmoon, what I meant by that "Handling comment" was this. I have been teaching my Son how to ride in the streets this summer and I told him no 2 bikes are the same. You can take a curve today on my bike then take that same curve on his buddies bike tomorrow and they will not act the same in the curve. The same with the Shotgun, it will take a curve one way slammed and feel different pumped up all the way. It's no big deal really, just something to be aware of. As for those who say air ride is not all its cracked up to be? I say they got something other then the shotgun then and they are not happy with it or have never rode with the shotgun on a bike. I would not trade mine for nothing. I have TONS of mods and it took me a while to be able to say this but it is now my favorite mod. I love my motor and tranny but that shotgun takes riding to a whole new level.

+1 Yep, I'm going to jump on the tbonetony06 "Shotgun shock" bandwagon and state the same thing on the "Shotgun Shock" mod, "The best mod done to our bike, PERIOD!!!"

Way to go JD.
