I'm about to start my Shotgun install. Looks pretty straight forward and I know JD is there if needed. What I'm hoping for here are a few pics of installs in progress to help me along the way. Especially jack placement (JS jack) and compressor placement. Thanks

Subscribed as I would like to see the same thing... I havent' bought mine yet but should be able to pull the trigger within the next few months... Would also like to see how the wiring is done because I want to use differnt switches then what will come with the kit... I hope someone out there took some goods pics to share!!

Thanks for posting this Brent!!

 

I had my back wheel off for something else when I did mine...that helped. As for jack placement when mine got in the way I switched to jack stands (all the bolts were already broken loose) for the wiring its a full plug and play harness so all you have to do is route it. If you want different switches pull the switch wires and solder on your extensions and run them to the switch you want. The switches are momentary two position spring load center off. Compressor/dump for lift side of piston and compressor/dump for rebound side

 

I had my back wheel off also. I can't even imagine the added trouble I would have had with the tire on. Damn them shock bolts were tight!

 

There used to a a much more thorough thread on the install but I can't find it.

 

I had my jack as far forawrd as it would go and still be on the jack. I used a floor jack under the rear tire to support the rear and move swingarm up and down. Install was straight forward. Getting the compressor in the right spot so the front bolts will go in was the only part I had to keep adjusting. Wiring was straight forward and with the splash guard out there in plenty of room to connect the connectors and get a heat gun in there for the shrink tubing.

 

Will be doing the install myself once my tires get here and my back feels better. I tend to research the hell out of stuff so here are links that I have gathered. Some are installs and some have good info mixed in with questions and results threads. To bad you are not In Va, (USA) or we could help each other and video it. If anyone else wants to do this message me, especially if you have a garage (I have a glorified shed). Hope this helps.
