Well, you haven't seen the roads here in the jungle.... I don;t think anything will work properly overhere except low speed!!!

Amen to that. that is what I think about Los Angeles, but I am sure they are worse there. My only point was that when it is adjusted perfectly it should ride well, but all factors considered I have not been to Brunei. Maybe I'll get there one day, it would be nice to see Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei and the like.
I hear that! With a 3 yr old, 2 yr old and a 1 week old, there is not much sleeping going on here either! And I'm on vacation, LOL.
The funny thing is I don't have any kids. Just my bikes, my wife, and you guys. Vacation? What is that? I am going to Vegas bike fest next week. that is a vacation!
I have the Shotgun shocks and if there is one complaint to make is that they are extremely bouncy. The roads here are crap in most places and unless I really make them very stiff I bounce all over the place, which I suspect is true for any air system.
The good thing is that I can raise the rear fender while riding and slam it when stopped for that dropped look!!!
my 0.02$ opinion...

You have the unit adjusted wrong for your roads. I noticed if i loaded the shock up to much and had the bike lifted up high i would get a bounce to it....not a good ride/feel. So just let a little air out of your lines and the pogo will go away. give it a whirl! When your suspension is stiff you get a bounce like a mini-truck. And when its cush you get a Cadillac.
As for install for this shock it is SIMPLE! And for a tranny gluid change? SIMPLE also....

Jd is putting mine on for me now regardless. C'mon Friday! I have to find the worst possible roads to ride home on. It looks like any street in this city will do as I read an article yesterday about LA having the second worst roads in the nation, although I find that hard to believe.

Thats cool that you worked it out with "JD" he is a top notch dude! And CONGRATS!!!! on the new ride. I'm sure you will have no problems with your system and adjustment will be simple to you.
As for tranny changes....im sure you asked him to install the newer drop version for even easier access. I have the regular version and its still easy to drop. Also your gonna love that big a$$ compressor. You bike will fly high to the sky....Good Luck!
