Default Air Compressor in fairing
Searched but unable to locate thread discussion on the installation of an air compressor in the fairing. Should have bookmarked it. Just getting old

Anyone have a link to that thread and or have installed one in the fairing?

I have one in mine. It is mounted between the right speaker and the radio. I have a couple of photos but they are on another computer.

Are you going to use that for air horns, or tire inflation, or what?
It sounds like it would be a good idea. What model is the compressor?

Eglidegoodies.com sells an in the fairing air compressor kit for about $200. It says tou can use it for tires or air shocks. At 250psi I'd be very careful using it on air shocks.

I was thinking air mattress on a road trip [:-]

I saw one in sturgis a few years ago, it's a pretty cool little setup

I carry an inexpensive little air compressor I picked up a Wally World for about $20. works great for tires and such. I also carry a plugger kit from "stop and go" to repair any flats I may have. None so far ... knock on wood. I first became aware of pluggers in the early 70's when I owned a service station in Oregon. We used them to repair flats on car tires and never had one go bad. Of course being prepared for a flat means I probably won't ever get one...lol.

The "thread" talked about using it for tire inflation, shocks and air mattress.

When you get a chance, please send photos. Do you have a link to the compressor you are using? Do you also use it for your shocks?
