Santajim, do you have a pic of the install? What type of bracket did you use in the glovebox? Thanks

I don't have a picture but I can take one later have to go to an early meeting. I put the compressor in the fairing and ran a short line to the back side of the glove box, drilled a hole for the air line, hooked the gauge up and just pushed it back into the glove box. I had taken that piece of foam out a long time ago. The 2" gauge fits nice and snug in there. Outta sight but all you have to do is open the door and there it is.

Mounted mine on the rocker box with a micro switch to control it.

Does your leg hit the gauge with it mounted to the rocker box like that? I was looking at those mounting plates but was worried I would bash my knee on it.

Inthewind could you take a few pictures from the side and front also. I'm interested how you hooked it up and ran the hoses and electrical? Thanks Mike

The first picture is where I mounted my switch'

The gauge I mounted in a piece of an old front fender skirt that I had, then I folded the sides in and pushed it into the glovebox. The air hose I drilled a hole in the back side of the glovebox and brought the hose through their.

I find that I don't use the gauge as much as I thought I would I use my butt gauge more.

Anyone got a switch that works in the rushmore factory auxiliary switch position in the dash by the ignition switch? If so do you know the harley part number of the switch? I think I read somewhere that the cvo bikes had a momentary switch for their suspension but I can't remember where I saw it.
