So i finsihed up my air ride on my bike. still have a few things to do to get it 100% road ready, but i got about 15 miles on it so far... Used the 101 how to from choppedbaggers and ran with it

The best place to get the compressor and dump valve is at http://www.hornblasters.com/products...ir-compressors. Monroe MA785 shocks from http://www.streetsideauto.com/search.asp?keywords=MA785, just ask for black shocks. Check out http://choppedbaggers.com/forums/sho...-101&highlight for the fittings which show ace hardware part numbers.

or
Just search Amazon for these items.

1/4" Stainless Steel Electric Solenoid Valve 12VDC Normally Closed VITON (US SOLID)

Energy Suspension 9.9105G 4-Bar Bushing (2 sets)

Viair 90087 2.0" White Face Illuminated Single Needle Gauge

Monroe MA785 Max-Air Air Shock Absorber

VIAIR 92 Viair 92C 12 Volt Air Compressor Kit

I use push lock fittings on mine and used 1/4 from compressor to the dump valve to store more air and go up/down a bit faster

now for the fun stuff... the shocks come stock in some cheap flat black paint, i hated it, so stripped and shot them in gloss black after i removed the bushings stock



from there i turned my attention where to mount the compressor... so i made a mount:




this let me use the stock motor mount location for a mount.






reason i wanted to mount it here is i could use a Dev Fabrication chin spoiler to cover it



for the guage i wanted something i could read and easily access so I made this mount







powder coated and switch added





for the wiring i did everything on duchen plugs and wrapped all the cable in braided line to help it blend/vanish



for the wiring i did a relay set up, i know some guys do not but i used a small two way switch and did not want the full load to go though that. worked out nicely this way and pulled the battery box to tuck it in nice and tight behind it

to adjust for the new lean i did have to shave the tang on my kick stand a bit

Sweet!

 

Looks awesome. Great work Joe. Where's that new derby cover from Richard. .? I thought I had seen you installing it in your build thread.

 

Looks real good. I'm in the process of installing the same setup. The chin spoiler idea looks good. I just put mine in a tool bag. How did you wire the relay?

 

Wow SUBD!

 

i have a few more things to install still, and do fluids on the bike so since this was the shake down i waited to install that, ill have it on soon though

i used a set up just like this
