Thanks phat96, everyone does a double take when I tell them its a 92', but Luke the sales guys always "only real difference is the price tag" which I guess is true since I have a 96". I really want the 103" now though, I mean my bike is quick, but why not ?
Anywho, thanks for the compliments, more pics are on their way..

First I started with the compressor, I went with the Arnott 092c (120 psi) They average about $60.
My buddy had the solenoid still in plastic, he sold me that for $20
Air line.. (1/4" x 15') $5 (1/8 x 20') Included with the shocks.
Hand full of quick release fittings in 1/4 and 1/8 -$10
I used : (3) 1/8-1/4 pipe (2 for the shocks, and 1 for the release)
(1) 1/4-1/4 pipe (for the air supply in from the compressor)
And the shocks them selves... Monroe (MA785) for 60's-80's Corvette. $74.99 (Pepboys or O'Reiley) Here's the tricky part.. The lower mounts have to be cut and have an insert pressed into them to make them fit correctly on the bolt. Also... The upper bushings have to be removed and replaced with a proper fitting set, we used urethane, and stainless inserts, sure it's the more expensive way to go, but it is my bike...
TOTAL...
$83 Shocks (after tax)
$20 Shock mods (bushings and inserts)
$80 Compressor (tax & shipping)
$20 Solenoid
$5 Air lines
$10 Fittings
$118
So essentially $220 but that's because I got my buddies prices on everything (lines, fittings, the solenoids are usually like $80, and free labor)
He is running a deal on them, $499 INSTALLED.. Started as a joke, but if someone in So Cal. wanted it, he would do it for you guys..
