    I paid $1000 us. about 12 months ago from ebay not from shotgun. Sent the shock and compressor to Shotgun Shock

    for some upgrades free of charge. The owner JD had no problems.

    Simple, you pump it up firm then set ride height then adjust dampening done.

    You could cruise along any highway and float along on air alone,

    With a magical flick of a switch repeat it 2 up and have them share that same ride with you.

    On the Shotgun shock site they're $1550us. You could wait for $ to climb higher.

    Hi Berms, sorry been a bit busy. I have found that on our highways which have been trampeled by heavy trucks the shock works
    very good if set abit soft to glide over the dips and patches. By pumping more air into the shock thru the right switch this will
    stiffen up the suspension for better handling thru corners or for a pillion.
    Check out the Shotgun Shock site as well as the U.S. site. I'm very happy with mine. Best upgrade on a softail.

    I installed myself. Pretty easy considering you have to run wires and tap a couple of threads.
    The install with the bigger compressor requires you to remove the active exhaust module if you
    have the stock pipes on. I did have the smaller compressor with no problem. I decided to go
    for the upgrades to make changeing the tranny oil easier.
