air ride problem
i have a slow leak in my air ride, havent found it yet, the leak. biggest problem is trying to air them up, the valve stem is located in a bracket behind the left saddle bag. problem is that the bracket that holds the valve stem is so thick that i cant air the air shocks up unless i remove the valve stem from the bracket, then i air hose will fill them. is there a longer valve stem setup to i can fill them without removing it from the bracket. also i going to replace the air line but dont know what size it is, any help will be appreciated.

you should be able to get a hand pump on it without a problem with the saddlebag lid open
is the valve not adjusted correctly?? general a nut on the back and a nut on the front and you adjust them
so more of the valve sticks through the bracket and then tighten
as for the leak, get a small spray bottle from the dollar store some dish soap and a little water and start spraying fittings

It sounds as if your bike does not have the original air valve. I have to agree that Wisenheimer16 has put his finger on it - those shocks are not worth spending any effort on. The season of good will is almost on us and you could treat your bike - and you - to a set of nice new 'normal' shocks, which don't need air. However if you are determined to sort yours out and can post a photo of the valve we can probably help. You can check this parts website, which shows what your stock setup is.
