Default SAS Simplified Air Suspension install Done!

Well,
I finally finished my SAS install on my 2007 Night Train.....

I will keep it short because there have been plenty of write ups on this very topic. I ran into to some minor issues but maybe it is just me. I noticed that when I went to install this I could not reach the right side bolt. apparently on 07 models or 06 and up the swing arm is kind of notch on that side next to the bolt so there is no easy way to get any kind of socket or open end wrench on that bolt. so after hours of trying to turn it with my hand I darted off to sears for a 90 degree open wrench and that did the trick.

there is nothing more to say about the install other than I know a big issue with the SAS system is it blocking the drain plug for the trans, but in my service manual, my trans fluid has to be changed every 10,000 miles so I should not have to worry about it for a while. some people like to do there oil services early but I added synthetic in the trans so 10,000 is what it will be.
I will be changing my tins and seat soon so I set the hight for this setup for now.

I have some pics and videos, please forgive the inconsistencies with cameras. I have been trying out different cameras and HD video equipment and have not figured out what I will keep....



Here are some of the switches

Looks great. I hate to say it but I like those switches far better than the ones that came with my system. I can change my tranny oil without removing it though, which is a big plus. Once again, looks great.

I think by "frame inserts" he means the black self-adhesive inserts near your pivot bolt
