Default Shotgun Shocks - I get it

Ok, after researching on this site, I decided to order a set from JD. Brilliant service, shipped to the UK. Installed them over Christmas. Went out today for a 100 mile test ride. Wow! they are brilliant, our roads are crap, loads of pot holes etc, the ride was exceptional. I adjusted re-bound on the move to stiffen them up a little more, worked like a dream. Really pleased I took the plunge and ordered them. If anyone in the UK wants to see them, I live in Wilshire, just give me a shout.

Don't think many have them in the UK, I have just posted a note on the HD Riders Club GB, site. Think I saw a post from you on there! Saw your bike in American V, cool ride :-)

I have not said much as of late as I have been on a few posts, guys where "ribbing" me a tad over the Shotgun and my posts I have also been working insane hours too. I say what I say about the Shotgun for 2 reasons. 1, I would like to see my brothers in riding have bas much info as possible to make an informed choice. The other reason is to help JD out in any way I can and it's all done for free. The Shotgun is the coolest mod out there right now and that says a ton. I thought my motor and tranny were my favorite mod until I got the Shotgun, it has moved into the number one spot. You will never regret your decision I had a ton of fun last summer with it.

Man, I just missed out on a used Shotgun Shock on eBay. I bid $550 and it went up to $629 within 20 seconds and ended. So if any of you here outbid me, I hate you. Hahahahahaha

Someone got a great deal though!
