Default Draggin Bagger Questions

I just have a couple of questions as I have already ordered the DB system. (starting to get a little nervous). 1. Bountyhunter, has your DB system been fixed?
2. Bountyhunter, what is your opinion of the DB system now?
3.Anyone, are the DB shocks really just the Monroe max air car shocks. I thought Tony said they were made specially for his application and if so why are they different than the regular max air car shocks?
4. Can you ride with them slammed (Seems to be some contradicting info) and how does the ride compare to stock when riding with them out of the slammed position?

Any input would be helpful,
Thanks.

They are indeed Munroe Max-Air shocks and yes you can ride slammed with no problem. The ride & handling all round is pretty decent and my system is now working fine. It's a pretty cool, fun/funtional mod for any bike and now that I'm draggin', I would'nt have it any other way. Ridin' just wouldnt be the same without it!

Doesn't the up and down of the rear affect the aim of the headlights? How about an auto afjusting headlight? Enquiring minds need to know!!

There is hardly enough effect on the mirrors or headlight to even notice!

I have had the system for months, I have NEVER had a single problem! I am short so I ride slammed 75% of the time. I air up when I am on a rough road or see railroad tracks coming up. I've never noticed the headlight issue, so i don't think it would be an issue. Hope this helps.

Bounty or anyone who has the DB unit: How big is the compressor and where is it mounted?
The compressor is about the size of a 16 oz beer can and is mounted either under the left side cover on non-cruise control models or underneath the battery tray on cruise control equipped models.

Install on under left side cover:




Installed underneath of battery tray:
