Man, I have GOT to save up for this. I live in Central Cali and I could even ride down to get JD to install them. I would feel much more comfortable with him doing it than me doing it. I want to put the switches on my console seat to the trip meter.

What did JD charge you to install them? Or did he?
(waiting on your response after your ride) hahahaha

Hey bro, when I installed my shotgun shock a few weeks ago, that is exactly what I did. Put the switches on my console next to the trip meter. Easy as heck to do also. If I knew how to post pics, I would love to show you how mine looks on my FatBoy. Good Luck...JD is awesome...Ride safe...

I'm saving my money up and as soon as I get the $1350, I'll hit you up for sure.

I hope it goes through. This pic is from a forum member who inspired me on doing this. I don't think he would mind me posting this pic. It is an awesome idea of putting the switches here than on your horn bracket. Good Luck. If you have any problems, let me know. PM me anytime bro...Ray...

Rode all day yesterday, first I took off by myself and adjusted the shocks for one up. After I got home, my wife wanted to go for a ride. Originally my thought was to take her out to the Rock Inn, but once we got to the 5 N interchange, traffic was at a standstill.
Ended up riding out to the desert, had some great BBQ. Well, let me say this, my attempt to get the setting exactly as JD set it while the bike was in his garage, has a lot to be desired. The ride home from his shop felt like we were floating, my set up, well, at one point has us riding on the bump stops. You can adjust these on the fly, and I must have dumped the air, to say we got a bone jarring ride was an understatement.
Got home played with the settings and thought, hey why not call JD. After speaking to JD, I aired them up and had to go for another ride. It once again had that floating effect.
Taking off here in a while to ride out to the beach with some friends. Then later we're picking up our women and riding down to Hollywood, I have no idea why, but it should be great day. I live in the foothills north of Los Angeles and the weather up here is perfect right now.
I'll snap some pics and post them up later.
