Pure awesome. Little bit of a learning curve with the settings for sure. I have found it is key to fully air up and go beyond, then adjust downwards, otherwise you end up "chasing the perfect ride"
The thread "How a Shotgun Shock Works" is a HUGE help. Thanks to Jam436 for it for sure.

I will say it is weird though not being able to feel bumps in the back end. I have Progressive lowered fronts and you feel it in the bars but not the ***.

Regardless, thanks to JD for the great price and super fast delivery, even to an APO here in Europe.

 

Yeah the delivery speed is great, only took a couple weeks to OZ for me, compared to 3-4 weeks for most parts from US to OZ. Congrats on the purchase, don't forget to throw a couple pics up

 

First time ever on any type of social forum!! So forgive me in advance......
OK! I have a police road king 2001 it has air in front suspension that hasn't functioned right since I came up on the scooter.been leaking fork oil bla bla bla...have had the scoot for going on 6/7yr and I've never experienced the true ride of a touring bike.recently I was blessed with complete front end off 09'roadking from uncle it's in mint condition..is it possible to swap the two so I can get away from "air" ride or should I see into fixing the air ride ..what's differences in the two ..would be very grateful for some help fellas!!!! Thank U

 

You might be better off in the touring forum. The Road King is one of HD's line of touring bikes and this is the Softail forum. Two different types of motorcycles.

 

Just installed mine as well,have not been able to test ride as I am still waiting on my back wheel.
I'm hoping the ride is as great as people say.

 

Thanks - I didn't think many people read it, or still remembered it.
Glad it helped you out...

..and that's what I do too - run it all the way up, then start adding air to the "down" side to get the height I want - then add short bursts to both sides to increase rebound...

 

Thanks for the how it works thread.
It was the first one I read that made sense.

Can you add pressure to each chamber at the same time to stiffen it or do you have to do it separately?

 

Pulling both up switches for 10 seconds after it reaches full height firms it up to the point where if you take weight off of it, you hit the top bump stops (if there are any)

 

Good question.
I imagine you could but I've always just done them separately...

 

Im just curious what it would do I may ask JD.
It's wired threw 1 relay so it may not work is why I havnt tried it lol
