Your funny! Thanks for the bump lol.
Looks like a choice between JNR or Dirty Air for rear air ride on my touring. Seem to be close in price, wondering about reviews from others.
Also did you not go or go with the quick up system?

Thanks

Have the JNR system with fast up tank and ride height repeater on 16 RG for the better half. Just had it installed and won't be riding for a couple more months around here.

It's really cool for what she needed, just can't speak to the ride quality yet. You may want to look at shotgun shock system for touring bikes. Had their stuff on 2 softails and absolutely awesome ride. Fat Boy S with shotgun was easily notches above the ride on stock RG. Check with Jess at Shotgun to confirm, but as far as I know, the shotgun is the only system for touring bikes that allows you to set rebound independent of ride height for a touring bike. The other systems only allow you to adjust height and lower ride height = less pressure in shock = less rebound. In the shotgun you can set ride height and still adjust rebound to be as stiff or soft as you like.

Dirty air also has the kit available with the modded swing arm that works as your air tank.

JNR kit for me with the gripswitch option, didn't feel the need for the fast up tank..


I am patient and the "8 seconds " it takes to pump it up to my comfortable height
doesn't bother me

So how is the ride? What about rebound effect?
