I had posted a question but ended up answering it myself. Got my shocks installed, just have to get everything plumbed and mount the compressor. Hopefully by the weekend!!

When I got my MA785s they measured like 14 inches and I couldn't get them to compress so I thought something was wrong.. But once I actually put them on my bike they compressed down to the 9.5 inches or whatever it is. I was just freaking out that I bought and modified them and they weren't right or something lol. All is good though!

Anyone have the MA785s leak? I have everything hooked up and working, but within a few hours the air will bleed out. I have checked all my connections with soapy water and can not find a leak. It's starting to **** me off lol.
Just curious if anyone has had any issues with the shocks having issues. If not, any suggestions to find the leak would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same when. When I air down the bike won't move at all due to the tire being smashed into the fender. My worry is what if I lose air for some reason? That would be like an instant brake who knows what would happen....

According to what I am finding, the MU85 16 (original tire on 2007 SG) is 25.71 inflated diameter. I put on an 18" with a 150/70R18 which is 26.6" inflated diameter. I am looking at getting a 140/70R18 which is 25.67 inflated dia. I just want to be sure it will work. I have less than 2k on my Mich. Commander II and like that tire. So no air ride or spring for a new tire.... I don't want the rub issue increase air is lost in the system. Love the looks of the air as well. Any input from anyone here?
