Thank you guys

Mine is still running strong. I have made a few changes, but the core of the original system is still the same (shocks, compressor, air lines). I welded up a couple of stainless steel tanks and I made the accuair e level system work on the bike too. pretty cool stuff how I can run it from my phone. the e-level lets me have 3 different preset settings on it and it will always stay at the ride height that it is set to. so for instance if my wife and I are on the bike and its aired up to setting #2 and the she gets off the bike will raise up naturally because weight comes off it. well the sensors recognize it and it releases air from the system to bring back to the set height. then when she gets back on, it adjusts and adds air back in and this doesn't matter how much weight is put on the bike (i.e. if we're loaded down for travel). love the system and how it works, it wasn't cheap or easy to make work, but it was worth the $ and effort.

Thanks,

The Shoe!

Like a screw on 90 or a parker fitting?
I ordered the shock air line fitting adapters from Airedup . com I just looked, their site is currently down. I hope they didn't go out of business because of this COVID19 crap.... if you need them, I have an extra pair if youre interested.... they are straight fittings though, not 90*s.

Does anyone have better info or pics on mounting the compressor in front of the battery tray??
Is the compressor just stuffed in there, or is it actually mounted to something?
I have a 2012 Ultra Limited with ABS and am trying to figure out where to mount my compressor. I am thinking in front of the battery or get a mount for behind the right saddlebag.

Not sure if this would be helpful or not, since I am not familiar with the 2012 setup, but here is a video of an air ride install with a compressor under the ABS.

Go to install video then 1:28 is where he starts the compressor install.

If this video isn't right for your scooter, then my apologies.
