My God, for that kind of money I can buy a used metric for a second bike.

So the real feature is the shock fills with air when ya get up to speed then lowers the bike when ya come to a stop!!!!! Am I missing something here?
I ride a Road Glide with Progressive 440HD shocks. I did the Iron Butt ride in under 17 hours with still a lot of energy to go right to work for 8 hours when I finished the ride. What in the world does this do besides hump my butt up over my shoulders at speed?

I think the bottom line is that it costs more than it's worth. If I make a widget and charge 10x more than any other widget then I'm gonna have a hard time selling it. It could be the best widget in the world. But it's still a widget. They are still just shocks. How many of those 50 sold were too people who work for the company?

Glad I'm tall. Don't need to lower a bike. Always like to check out technology, though.

Is the shock travel the same when in high and low position? Based on what you posted, it is not clear. I hope that when in high position the shock provides more travel.

You should try to bring the cost down to under USD $2k. You will sell much more of them.

I'm not tall, but for a fraction of that cost Mean City cycles got me a lot lower. Of course to get higher I need to stand up on the boards. Haha!
