I went with piggy backs... Easy to install/remove, less things to clean (no hose), and looks cool to me!:D

I also hear some riders with remote rezzies having a problem with certain steering dampners being an obstacle.

Congradulations, and good luck with your new shocks!:)

remote rezzies, oil if further from the shock and keeps the shock oil cooler. JMO, both are good.

If you have a Stabilizer or plan on getting one, which I would if I were you, I would get the Piggybacks. I have remotes and when I got my Denton it was just a pain, but I found a good spot for the rezzies.

i prefer the rezzies over the piggy backs becuase the resovoir is further away from the shocks so it will keep cooler...\

the piggy backs look good but i would go with the remote rezzies, what ever you want, if you take your front end apart a lot the go with the remotes if not take the rezzies...

either way you get a good shock that preforms awsome, you are happy, so just go for it, you won't regret either one of your choices..

Go with piggybacks! I dont think the cooling thing makes that much differance. Remotes are just a hassle! I just wish Axis made some:(

Axis told me they have no plans of going to a "piggy back" style front shock in the near future.
