Default Working on a solution for Shotgun Shock with ABS softails

Legends air ride makes a bracket and compressor that mounts under the bike between the frame tubes with a compressor that is 180-200 PSI. The Shotgun Shock compressor is 300 PSI. I am not sure how the lack of PSI will affect teh adjsutment of teh Shotgun shock as you need a fair amount for teh rebound function as the pressure will push against the inner pistons that already have air on one side of tehm, buit I think someone si going to pull teh trigger on this setup so we can find out what the deal is. I want to be able to get you ABS guys into a Shotgun Shock in time for the holidays. Here is the bracket and compressor from Legends. It hangs down about 1/8" of an inch below the frame.

I hope this does not mean that shotgun shocks for ABS bikes has come to an end because that would be a major let down. I've been waiting for these shocks to be available for the longest, I'm tired of scrapping my cholo pipes every where with my progressive 2 inch drop. Hopefully someone from Shotgun can post on here any info if and when they would be ready for ABS.

I'd be more than willing to let Shotgun Shock use my Deluxe w/ ABS since I live in So Cal for what ever time needed so they can use it for mock up and help them get the process going for those with ABS that want shotgun shocks (which I know there are many of us.) Anything that I can do to help with the process.

Your right HDDEE, I spoke with JD from Shotgun Shock yesterday. He said he just needed one more week and that it should be all done and ready to go for us guys with ABS.
