I want that SO BAD! My springer would look SICK slammed but the boards already drag as it is, so it would be nice to ride high when i hit the twisties,

i just went with the shocks alone, gonna manual fill for now. they were 750$ on JP. I just want it down 2" and wanted the best ride. I plan on adding the compressor kit eventually, i just want to get used to manual fill before i can slam it up and down on the fly.

I have them on my NT till last year ...

First , you have pay too much for your shock set :( You can easily have them for less than 600$ on Ebay

Second , after installing them , be sure to check the air fitting with a sprayer and water mix with a little soap to see if you have a leak.
My mechanic have install my shock set and didnt check for leak and i after taking my bike ,i have feel the dead very closed in scrapping my frame in a curve and pass very closed to hit a 10 wheeler in the other lane because my bike was so low , i wasnt able to turn :(

Be sure to read the manual and always keep 10 psi in each chamber to prevent piston to jam

I have the little pump and it do the job but i have order the inboard compressor last week ...

you will like your new suspension !

sorry for my spelling , english is not my mother tongue ;)
