Default I finally bought one!!!
I've been saving my pennies for almost 2 years now, and I finally bought a shotgun shock!!!
Called Jessica yesterday at shotgun shock. She was super nice, she answered all my questions, and then she took all my money. Way to easy!!

Now I just have to sit here and wait for it to ship half way across the country.........

Congrats from a guy using the bolts. And yes I'm a little jealous.

I've been running the bolts for almost 4 years now. Lowered as low as it'll go.
Like riding a rigid!!!!

My back is gonna be so grateful.

Your bike looks great. I had bolts on my Softail and they worked fine for me. Certainly would have loved to have the Shotgun shock though. Something about the stock HD shocks that I just don't care for. By chance, that wouldn't happen to be Jessica from Shotgun shock in your avatar???? lol...j/k

I just can't see paying that much for it, when it's going to soften the ride, just like stock shocks. But, to each their own.
