On the home stretch finishing my vicla softail.

I havent had experience with the shotgun kit but i read the instructions the other day and it looked so much easier to install if you are doing it yourself.

With the shotgun I always liked that you can add air to stiffen the shotgun at any height

Not sure if the slam tail works the same.

JD has a pretty decent following of customers in the US and abroad.

have Shotguns on my Softail.

+1 for Shotgun Shocks, best mod I have done

I've got a slamtail kit on my 2011 FXST & fucking love it! 2 1/2" of suspension travel & the ride, feel & comfort compared to standard is unreal! Ken was super helpful when I purchased the kit & spent about 10 minutes on the phone going over how to instal the kit, although I ended up getting a local bike mechanic to fit it as I was days out from my wedding & ran out of time to instal it, it took him 3 hours to instal & he said it was very easy to instal & was really impressed with the whole unit. All up the unit was around $2150 to purchase including the spring pre-load adjuster kit which to date I haven't used & to be honest I don't think you need unless you're planning on doing lots of two up riding. The best thing about this unit is it's 100% Australian designed & manufactured!!
