Shotgun Shock installed
Pure awesome. Little bit of a learning curve with the settings for sure. I have found it is key to fully air up and go beyond, then adjust downwards, otherwise you end up "chasing the perfect ride"
The thread "How a Shotgun Shock Works" is a HUGE help. Thanks to Jam436 for it for sure.
I will say it is weird though not being able to feel bumps in the back end. I have Progressive lowered fronts and you feel it in the bars but not the ***.
Regardless, thanks to JD for the great price and super fast delivery, even to an APO here in Europe.

Glad it helped you out...
..and that's what I do too - run it all the way up, then start adding air to the "down" side to get the height I want - then add short bursts to both sides to increase rebound...
Thanks - I didn't think many people read it, or still remembered it.

Thanks for the how it works thread.
It was the first one I read that made sense.
Can you add pressure to each chamber at the same time to stiffen it or do you have to do it separately?

Pulling both up switches for 10 seconds after it reaches full height firms it up to the point where if you take weight off of it, you hit the top bump stops (if there are any)
