I have been on this quest for a long time, to many things taking priority and other mods with the bike and slowed down the air ride conversion. Thanks to Joe, Randy, Nasty and many other's (some from the bagger/touring threads) I have managed to put together a list of parts and I believe they have the vender listed to. There is a great website that deals with special effects air props equipment that has most of what you would need to all the valves, solenoid, splitters to connected everything. eBay/Amazon is where most people the compressor and shocks. I will try and get you the list / info this week.

If your really lucky, Joe will put up his link to the thread where he goes thru his setup install, get info!!!

The compressor is in the leather bag at the bottom of the down tubes. The dump valve is under the seat and the switch is on the back of the electronics box on the left side of the bike. I also built a gauge pod for the pressure gauge that is connected to the coil cover. I highly recommend this switch.

It stays on in the up direction so you can flip the switch while putting your helmet on and it will be good to go. Then it is only momentary in the down direction to let air out of the system. I burned up a dump valve when I left the switch on before I bought that switch.

I also run the diy air ride. It's a good system and cost less than the others.

Have a set of Arnott shocks back on mine, that I bought them in 2011. Well blew one out after 3 years, called them & was told 5yr free replacement, so in the mean time waiting for it I bought the MA 785s put them on for a week & shock mount broke away from the body. the welding difference between the Monroes & Arnotts is significant in favor of Arnotts. Sent Monroe an email over a week ago & still have not heard from them. If I get a replacement I will probably sell them & stick with the Arnotts.

I sure wouldn't pay $9.30 for shipping a $10.00 switch. Go to your local autoparts store.

Ninety8NeonACR are you running a relay, and I am curious as to what type of mount you used to attach the air compressor to the bike?
