You can set the rebound and the ride height with the Shotgun Shock so it will not "throw you around" in your words. It si a one piece unit. You only have to remove 2 bolts and the shock pivots out of the way to change the oil. There is only 1 air line from the compressor to the shock body. No other air liens which is the reason most air rides end up leaking. I coudl go on and on, but hopefully someone else will chime in as work is supposed to be over for the day.

Well, the quality of craftsmanship and design is impressive, the engineering is extremely well thought out, and the depth of anodizing is incredible.

As Drew points out, the height and dampening can be independently adjusted. Can't compare it to your High Lo, but I can tell you that I am as happy as can be with the Shotgun system. If your High Lo works for you, then you're stylin' and probably don't need one. If the High Lo falls short, you may want to consider dumping it on eBay and getting on the Shotgun express... IMHO it *is* all that.

I ran a Hi Lo for two years. I never realized how it fell short until I got the Shotgun.

Remove battery, splash guard and original shocks and the shotgunshock is ready for easy installation. If you have the time and proper tools you can do the install.

 

Thanks jd.....I talked the wife into letting me get one but I have to come up with the money. No money can come out of the account. So I guess I'll be sellin my 45 and some other toys....

 

The bike must be placed in a position allowing the stock shocks to drop out bottom side of bike, here is a little tip on securing the bike to lift. The seat hole is tapped 1/2 13 and may have a plastic plug inserted. Thread an eyelet into hole so that straps can be secured to eyelets [ [/IMG]

 

That's one thing Im going to have to get. I was looking at the harbor freight lift like drew has. Any other tips would be great. I hope to place my order by spring.

 

I have several lifts and this one is as good as any and perfect for removing stock shocksand installing the Shotgunshock its all downhill after stock shocks are removed this is a lay out of tools heeded to remove stock shocks 1.heat gun to weaken locktite on shoulder bolt threads 2.long 3/4 box end to break shoulder bolts loose 3. 1 1/8 open end to prevent shock from turning 4. 11/16 box end ratchet to remove two front nuts 5. vice grip to remove steel sleeve in rubber dampners 6. prybar to persuade shocks past frame gusset

 

slight persuation with a pry bar and the stock shocks are free

 

Thanks JD, Hopefully I can put all your tips to good use soon.
