Ok, compressor should be here today. The only other thing is the control switch. Looking for ideas on where to mount.

I put my switch in a stealth location. I put mine in the brace connecting the 2 down tubes just above the transmission.

Got everything installed. Thanks to everyone here for the info. The system works great. It rides much better and I can now adjust on the fly.

I love it, recently I snapped the switch lever off and needing an improvised fix I ran down to Autozone and grabbed the only 3 way switch they had which was an on/off/on (non momentary contact) and I like it even better.. It's kinda cool being able to just flip the switch and keep putting on my gloves while it airs up. That and the drop is cool at gas stations, just throw out the kick stand and flip the switch as you get off, people freak out like its gonna fall over...
