Air Ride

So, I have a 2010 RK and have been having some ride issues. I liked the stock air ride but didn't like having to remove my bag every time to air up which was constant. So got a newer set of stock shocks and in a short time I was back to airing up all the time again. Fine, I thought just get some good old fashioned spring shocks. Nope, that didn't work either, I was spoiled by the air shocks. OK, JNR to the rescue, finished the install yesterday and went for a ride. I'm in love with my RK again. Thanks.
Note: save yourself some trouble and $$$$, just go JNR, you'll love it.

I installed JNR earlier this year an so far I've really liked it. Once you find your air level I think they ride better than HD and adjustable shocks. I've ran the stock air, 12" hand adjustable an 12" progressive 444's an I prefer the JNR ride. For me the ride height at just below where it was with 12" shocks is a nice comfortable solo ride pressure.

I have the xotic customs set up.love the ride. I added the JnR ride height repeater, that is a great add on, same ride height everytime. Best thing I have done to my air ride. How ever , with a really good shock,like Ohlins,JRI, Fox,,Soper Shox you will have a far better ride. I didn't go that route because I wanted to be able to lower the bike. JnR is a really good company,I told them the set up I already had and they still answered my questions..

when i had air shocks on my street glide, I moved the air fill valve to a location I could access without removing bag. Plenty of options there...the fittings and line are available from either the harley dealer or any good auto parts store. But sounds like you have problem solved. Maybe this will help someone else.....
