SAS install complete.. a few quick thoughts
I just installed an SAS on a friends bike this morning. I wanted to do a quick writeup before I do the full isntall, review, and comparison thread.
It is a very nice looking one piece unit with no air lines at all. This is good. 4 wires to hook up, also a bonus. The compressor is inside the unit so if you have ABS you can isntall this no problem.
The isntall is simple. Make sure the breather tube does not get kinked as it will not raise if the breather is kinked. Ask how I know. Also, plug the breather in and route it prior to mounting the shock or you will have to remove the shock to plug it in. Also ask how I know. Having a bit of clearance between the rear heim joints and the head of the bolt is normal as the system needs some play.
I got the push buttons for the bars but did not feel like running them and found the momentary switch provided with the kit to be more than sufficient.
I only rode it for a few minutes today before I had to get back to my other job so I will be able to report on this better Monday after I go riding tomorrow. I will provide a full pictorial writeup as I always do then.
Here is the bike aired all the way up
Here it is slammed. It has an 18" on the rear.
