Default Air line replacement
Happy Fathers day to all,

Since I'm planning on being left alone today... where can I locally source air line replacement for the factory air shocks?
I want to relocate the fitting for now after changing the oil.
Long term...replacement shocks when I figure out that direction.

Home depot or common auto parts store carry the material?
I'd like to knock this out today since I'll have time...

TIA.

Sometimes even local hardware stores if they are well stocked. Hit or miss on Home Depot Auto parts usually have it. Had to do my brother's bike over Memorial Day weekend

Any chance you recall the size? Lucky enough to have a Depot and several hardware stores within a few miles.

I don't not sure if I have anymore here. Memory is a terrible thing to lose. Cut a piece off the end of what u have or take the piece between the shock and Schrader valve and take it with u

Or take the whole thing off and take it, so you can put it back on if you can't find a replacement.

If nothing else try trimming 1/4" off the end of each line and reseat them.

I've trimmed each end, I was looking to relocate the fill valve.
Wanted to ride, so i just buttoned it up.
I'll worry about it another day.
Good part of the story....I got a new motorcycle jack to make things easier for father's day. Good day indeed.
