Go to www.phatperformanceparts.com . (I hope this is ok to do here) 750.00 with free shipping to your door.
I believe that free shipping is US only but I'll check. The website is not clear.
Where do you see $750 ???? I see $869.

and as irony would have it, I bought the last one at $750 from Phat. They emailed me and called me to tell me that Tricky was changing the pricing, and that they agreed to keep mine at $750 as the order went in the same day they raised the price. I guess Phat resales for Tricky, as they had to go to Tricky to get the approval to do that.
And yeah, I just put mine on thursday night, haha...go figure. And like Slothy said, I too feel it to be a bit bouncy when not at full air. I was thinking about doing some adjustable links to get the ride an inch lower, and still have air. I sent Tricky an email about it, and am yet to hear back.
As for the dimensions, go to tricky website and shoot them an email, i am sure they can get you the info you want.

ok, i replied the first time only reading a few posts, not the whole thread. Let me go more indepth with my findings.
First of all, I love it. I LOVE to drop it down and show it off. It was very simple to install, 2 hours and that is not ever doing it before. Probably an hour if I did it again.
Now, Rich is a little lighter than I am...haha...so the ride is a little different. I am 6'1" and 220lbs, and if I do any less than 1/2 raise, it is bouncy. Not like a 1970's Lincoln Continental with blown shocks, but if you hit dips or a bump, it bounces me. It will stop and ride fine on a smooth road after that though. When I pump it up, its more rigid and mimics a stock ride. Granted an air shock stuffed with air can't offer a progressive spring feel, so its tough to compare those.
I will play more with it aired down and report back...

 Does anyone know if there is a real difference between Tricky or Barons? Does either one go lower? Is the ride different? Any add-ons to the project? I'm reading everything and just need some advice as to which one to get. I want to slam it down to the frickin ground but at the same time when i ride i don't want it to be a bad one for when i ride single or with the wife. Any advice is apprecited! |

Difference? The shocks look almost exactly the same.
Lower? Look at the photo below. You can barely get two fingers under the bike when set all the way down. The bike won't actually fall over since it's so low to the ground. Just stops on the floorboard brackets. Like training wheels... 
Add-Ons? Remote is $20.00 on Ebay. Air Pressure sensor to automatically make it go up, $20.00 on Ebay.
Still a good ride.
One of my favorite mods to date...
