the model i got for my boys 01 road king had all the workings inside the two shocks, The compressor mounting under the battery box and had the same switch setup as the softails. Had the height adjustment on one switch and the preload adjustment on the other, this making it easy to ride at any height. fitment should be easy on most models

We have had the bagger design out for about 6 years but could not afford to pay what machine shops charged for this intricate part. purchase of this Cnc vertical mail is enabling us to manufacture in large quantities for a reasonable price.

Hmmmm, look at all these positive comments about the SS system. To think there was a time where most everyone made **** or fun of me for how I promoted it. Now, many of those same people are riding around on one themselves. No on else in the market can match the product, for the price for the customer service one gets when they go with the SS. If you have noticed I have had to do little of that anymore. Why? Because so many others are now running it on their bikes and I don't have too. The SS speaks for itself. I am just waiting for an air system for the front of my bike from JD, I would surly own one.
