Default Platinum Air Suspension for FXBB

Hi all,
I just received my Platinum Air Suspension, looks really good and well made, also fast service from Mike from P.A.S. , it took only 2 days to arrive in Belgium from the US so that is fast

The install will be next month, I'll post some pictures when done or from the install.

Thanks !

Now I have the stock suspension that I lowered about 3/4", that was the maximum I could do because of the V&H Big Radius, it is scraping the road wen cornering fast. That is the reason why I
wanted air, to go low when possible and put the bike up for faster riding. The rear also have a 4,5" rim with a 170 tire so that limits the drop also. If you look at my website and you click on the
bikes picture then you can see the mods, also the altering of the stock suspension.

The headlight ring is a aftermarket that I altered to fit like a glove, no gaps anywhere, not even were the ring comes together.

The Energica is bloody fast man handles great and the instant torque ..., that gives a kick, that was the reason why I bought it.
