Send him a PM or email with your email address, your name/address, what your bike is, year, abs or no abs, and he'll send you a paypal invoice reflecting the forum discount. If you meet credit requirements for paypal's "buy it now" option, they give you 6 months zero percent financing, but make DAMNED SURE you pay it off before then. At least, that's what worked for me! If paypal isn't your bag, I'm certain he'd have another option.

SS isn't $1500. I think it is $1250 with forum discount.
I understand that. However, lets assume that the OP isnt up to the install so there would be some labor $$. And in all fairness retail is $1550.

The Shotgun Shock is worth every penny.

If the OP could install any other form of lowering a Softail, he could likely do a ShotgunShock. Plus there are many of us here willing to help.
As for retail, who pays retail for anything anymore?

You lucky blokes in the states only get the "bill me later" option on shotgun shocks. Pay pal only allows that option for US customers. Just tried going through with it....may have to save for a couple weeks for them to afford them in one hit, pretty keen on them though
