chromedome, sweet looking ride, i was curious if you have any more pics of the compressor, i too have done quite a bit of research and am looking to purchase this system when i get home in december. i have a different swingarm though for a RC Components Phantom 240 kit and its not a stock style. mostly i was hoping you had pics looking towards the front of the frame. does the compressor stick out past the transmission and if it does how faw.

The compressor is seperate from shock unit. It's not a "all in one", like the SAS. Compressor is mounted to tranny on top of shock body.

Shotgun Air Shocks
i put a set of the shotgun shocks on my 05 Softail standard and the quality of ride is great. i considered the SAS system by CCCS is a nice system for the newer bikes if you have to worry about emissions since the compressor is built into the shock unit whereas the shotgun shock isn't. the compressor that i was sent isn't for the Softail model but actually for the newer system they developed for FLH's. it moves the rear suspension very quickly and both height and rebound are adjustable, everything in the shotgun kit is very high quality. I would use the shotgun shock on any other bikes that i mod.

There is also the Platinum Bleed feed designed by the same gentleman. That is what I roll and I can get it for a few hundred less. Other advantages to the platinum include that fact that they are two separate shock bodies so there is not need to remove to drain the transmissions and less stress on your swing arm bushings. Either way, you can't go wrong with either. Know that if you do not avhe a CA bike you will need the CA emission bracket to install the Platinum. $15 for the bracket.
