After you initially set the ride height and rebound how long are you holding the compression switch for to firm up the ride? It was a while before I found out they used smaller compressors on the abs bikes and mine was constantly soft no matter what I did. After I discovered this and talking to some folks on here I was told I wasn't running the compression side long enough to firm up the ride. You say it should take 17 seconds to get it maxed out. If my shocks are completely empty it takes mine a lot longer then 17 seconds just to get it to lift all the way up. After raising mine up then getting the ride height set where I want with the rebound switch I'll air the compression side up for at least a minute and I'm good. I can go longer than that and riding two up its hard as a rock.
Maybe try running the compression a little longer to see if that helps

Hell, I ran the ride height all the way to the top last time we rode together jut to keep it off the hard stops. No rebound at all.
Not to be nosey, but when you ride 2up, how much is the total weight? Between the OL and I it's over 400lbs.

hey you do realize that ShotgunShock's advertisement promo says "no bottoming out" as a feature. So you may want to hold them to that one 
I'm still interested in what you come up with so good luck with it.

Dam it's been a while since I've been on here. It took me about 30 minutes to read through all the new posts on this thread.
Just wanted to drop a few updated pictures of my bike. Got some powdercoating done and put a chromeglow rear fender light in.
