I am in the middle of it now, my issue is time and not having the shotgun shock yet.
Just do a google search for "hdforums shotgun shock installation" and read everything you can. It will make it easier.

I had some problems the last two weeks with mine not working at times but as it turns out (and as expected) it was my wiring job.. I didn't have one of the wires tucked away properly and each time I lowered the bike it would cause the wire to pinch and I was riding slammed the whole way home...
These shocks really are the goods - thanks JD. The only negative thing I have to say is that while you may spend $1500 on the Shotgun you also need to set aside money for the front suspension as well because you will soon realise how much more you feel the bumps in the front when the rear works so smooth!!!

I've FINALLY got the $$ to order mine! What's the best way to go about getting them? I went to JD's website and the cost came up $1550 and I'm pretty sure I've seen people on here saying they got theirs for a lower price.
CAN'T WAIT!

It depends on the year of your bike. Certain years you don't have to tap and drill. Mine is supposed to be one of those that doesn't need tapping, the correct holes are there. We will see as soon as I get the shock and compressor. LOL
