Gambueller, I also have a Road King and was wondering how/where to install this stuff. Please post a link on this thread if you decide to start a new one detailing your install. Looking forward to the info and thanks to everyone for posting. Looks like i just found my next mod.

There is already a hole right above the starter in between the rear downtubes. Might have to enlarge it a bit. Its easily accessible from under the seat to do your wiring.

I just got my Monroes yesterday. Can't wait to get everything installed. Supposed to be 60 here in Iowa today so I think the bike needs to come out. Great weather, but can't seem to get time to do the winter projects on it.

Gabriels got delivered today. So I now have my shocks, compressor, solenoid and fittings. I know I read I need to change/modify the upper bushing and I would imagine add one on the lower mount. Any info on what I exactly need to do?
Also, I wanted to add an air gauge in my system. That way when I find my sweet spot for riding solo/2up I will know around what psi I should be running. Do I need anything specific as far as gauge?
Will this work for me?

If so, how will I tie it into my system? I can just run it inline with any of the air lines? As in order another T and just install it in between the solenoid and shocks.
Thanks for all the help thus far. Can't wait to get my bike in motion.

The gauge should be a T fitting In between the pump and solenoid.
Hope that helps.

It helps indeed. Does that top bushing need to be ground down a little? I notice it sticks out a little bit on one side. So that gauge I posted will work?

If like the above picture I wouldn't grind anything. Just make sure the shocks are not sticking out to far at the top.
The gauge should work fine. Use this part number for the gauge Part No: 150-112
