Buying a Shotgun is clearly the only reasonable solution.

The Breakout was made to have a shotgun shock on it. Looks so much better and the ride, well...you know.

No they will not. Those are for the older style Softails.

I know they are different, as the later bikes have an eye at one end and a straight thread at the other! I'm just wondering if I can change the adjustable eye end to a thread fitting?

If not.. how much are they worth on the second hand market?

Maybe you could make an adapter? I dunno. As for the value on the second hand market, I really have no idea?

So I have been out of town but took a few more pics. Once the weather gets better, I will be able to take some nicer ones.

The Blackline Console looks great on the Amber Whiskey. I am thinking of doing the same to my 2013 in Big Blue Pearl. What part of CO are you in? I am in Thornton.
