RE: Bart or Bryan, I could use a little help here
For $1200 you'd think they could do a better job at quality control.....2 systems in this post with problems on the same part (overtight and cracked in one and loose in another) AND they both bleed down overnight. not acceptable in my book. I'm sure the ride is first rate and the system LOOKS great but for that kind of coin IMO there shouldn't be issues.

I may have to reconsider using the Platinum System.

I remember a few years back, people where constantly complaining about the Legend systems leaking(I know that was part of the reason Legend stopped including the air pressure guage in the kits)so Legend systems have had their problems also.

Hey, John, sorry to hear about the eye. Hope that gets better soon! As for the shocks, thanks for the report. I know you haven't been able to really ride your bike, but just wondered how long it took to get the "right" air pressure on both sides before it started riding "good"? Was it alot of dicking around, or, tried this and it worked type of thing? Get that eye better, I know it's killing you to not be riding!

It was no screwing around at all to get a decent ride, after I got the system working it rode super right from the start.
I screwed around quite a bit with air pressure settings, but the system seems to have a really large "sweet spot" & rides very well at almost any air pressure setting except all the way down or all the way up.
As far as the slight air leak, that's not something I'm losing any sleep over. Even if the system is totally empty, it only takes a couple seconds to pump it to whatever pressure I want. When I get a few minutes of spare time, I will test all the connections with a soap solution & see where it's losing air.
Even though my eye is still all messed up, I plan to ride to work tomorrow & give the system a more extended test. I live 23 miles from work & I can take back roads with very little traffic on them so I think I'll be OK for that.

RE: Bart or Bryan, I could use a little help here
The fittings already have sealer on them. I may have a loose connection somewhere, I just haven't had any spare time to check it out.
As long as the shocks themselves are not leaking, I'm not real worried about it.
There is a post right now on the CVO site where a guy just had the actual shock leak in a Legend setup.
