Default Softail Air Suspension ?
Does any one just make a set of air shocks for a softail. With out all the electronics & pumps. I would like to just set them and forget them. Because I only ride solo.

If you would have posted in the softail section instead of the chat section, you may have got more responses.

no reason why you cant buy the air shocks, and not run the compressor. just plumb a line with a air fitting someplace. just like the RK bikes. personally, i would run the compressor. the time you need to add air, and are no where around any will make up for it. or carry one of those small bike pumps. easy to add with it.
