Monroe MA785 In amazon and then click on customers also bought it will give you the complete list of everything you need. I'll screenshot what parts I ordered. I bought the push to connect fittings local. I also put an air gauge on and I don't use it. I wish I had a handlebar mounted switch though. I put the switch behind the fuse cover and it's a pain to adjust when the wife is on. The hardest part was mounting the compressor where it wouldn't be seen. underneath right in front of the rear wheel I drilled a hole through the cast part of the frame. The frame "splits "there so one hole through each side. I ran 1/4 20 threaded rod through and bolted it on each side Then I used pipe clamps and clamped it to the rod. I also put a couple zip ties loosely around it just in case the hose clamps would break. I wasn't sure how the clamps would hold up to the vibration so just in case. I used a wiring diagram from this forum for the relay. Total cost was $225. There is a guy that sells everything needed on eBay for $250. Since I don't use the gauge it would have been $205

Hey all, had an idea for my customization on the 08 FXDB posted earlier. I didn't like my battery cover with that silver stripe, so I tried something I haven't seen before.
Removed metal clip in stripe, and had a custom piece fabricated for the empty area, ive seen riders take it off and just throw bolts into the slots. I hope I hit something original here, let me know what y'all think 😊.
