Thumbs up Suspension Update...

My last two threads/posts were of my suspension. About a week ago I was posting about installing Progressive Monotubes on my 06 FatBoy. Finished that mod with the help and advice of this forum. Now, for this week, just finished installing my Shotgun Shock. Took me approx.3.5 hours to do. Worth every minute too. With the Monotubes in front and the Shotgun in the rear, it really rides unbeleivable and looks awesome too. What a noticeable difference. You will have to try a bike that has one. Now to get to know about the switches. I know many will say not another Shotgun thread/post. It is all worth writing about. What every single rider that has a Shotgun Shock writes about it, it is all damb true. Now I can honestly comment on Shotgun threads/posts. But I can go on and on. But I won't. And this is only from one day experiencing with it. That's all folks. Enough said for now...JD, if your out there, Thank You for this great mod that one can do to there ride. Thanks again....Ray...

When you 1st started Ray I told you. I was 100% sure you would be more than just happy with these 2 mods if you did them. I am glad to see you like them as much as I thought you would. Now, just get the feel of it and used to your two switches and you will stay in "Hog Heaven"!!!

Thanks to you mostly Tony. I kept reading every thread/post you write and it got me going about your awesome ride. I really needed something that comfortable besides just a seat. After thinking and thinking about it, I decided to do your set-up. And Tony, you were absolutely correct. It really is hard to explain. And Tony, thank you again for all your help and advice. Oh yeah!, I got the Laminex tint done on the headlight too. With your detailed instructions, everything went as suspected. Another thanks to you my friend....Ray...
