Switch Assy, Power Locks



Just got mine at the Dealership 20 min ago.

 

Thank you very much. You guys are so very helpful.

 

I knew someone would chime in with a number

 

So I after reading all the information on the thread I decided to pull the trigger and move forward with the install.

As I gathered my needed parts, I started to tear down the bike so as to be able to install the compressor and other components I needed.

I decided to place the compressor on the right side under the cover in front of the saddlebag, however I noticed that the ECM was in the way. I decided that I wanted to put it on the right side regardless, so I knew that the battery box had to come out. As I started to pull the battery box out, I noticed that there was a torx head screw holding the battery box to the rear fender so to make it easier.. off with the tire for full access to the area I was working with. After I pulled the battery box, I then cut the zip ties that were holding all the wires for the ECM and decided I could run it to the left side with a little encouragement and rearrangement of other wires. After I had the ECM relocated, it was time to work on the compressor.

I bought my Viair 92C 12 volt compressor from With the bracket already mounted with the understanding it would be easy enough to just drill out the original mount and rotate it 180 degrees and mount. I later determined it was easier to build an “L” bracket and mount it that way.



I also made a bracket for the speed control muffler which was attached to the 1-2way valve (solenoid).


I decided to use this type of muffler b/c I wanted to be able to control the speed in which the air is released. There is a set needle valve inserted into a set screw to allow for an adjustment on the flow rate.

Like everyone else with the Gabriels, I had to figure out a way to ensure the mounting screw would fit. I had some bushing inserts from a previous build I did on a CJ7 which fit the diameter, but needed some shortening. Once I had them shortened with my dremel and a metal cutting disc they fit perfect. I too had to use an increased length screw to re-install the shocks.

After I had everything mocked up I ran my wiring. This is the only part I had trouble with. I ran my switch independently. I ran my hot to the # 30 via a fuse from the battery, and then to the power (or middle terminal) on my “on, off, on” switch. I ran my up to the #86 and my down to my dump solenoid. #85 was run to my battery NEG along with the compressor, and dump solenoid. Everything worked fine so I then switched to my remote relay and ran it the same and everything worked fine as well. I ran into problems once I plugged the “Power” from both the remote and the switch together to the #30 terminal, one of my remote outs to the “up” and one to the “dump solenoid.” I was blowing fuses and eventually somehow (been talking with coolerman69 about this) blew my whole remote. So I ditched the remote and ran the “on, off, on” switch independently with no problem. I put the bike back together and this is what I have.



I was able to place the switch under the two down tubes in front of the rear cylinder.



So far it works great. I haven’t ridden vary far, but my girlfriend loved the ride when aired up and I love the look when aired down.

 

Good write-up! With monroe shocks you get the lines, fittings for the shocks and a 3-way. I like the idea of the muffler, being able to controll the air down speed. I used 1/8 lines and the dump is a pretty nice speed. I can be several steps away before it gets to the bottom.

 

Yep this is #2 on my list, But I'm gonna start collecting my patrs, lots of good stuff on this site

 

Ok air ride guys I need some info. I'm shopping for an air gauge to install in the fairing in place of my air temp gauge. What has anyone else used? I didn't want to read all 1500 pages AGAIN lookin for someone who has already done this. Is an 80psi gauge enough? HELP!

 

I'm looking to do the same. Look at Autometer gauges. That's what I'm going with. I'll get ya a part number tonight after work.

 

gambuelller awesome write up. Anyone installed this on a bike with ABS, and not put the compressor in a bag or behind a fairing. Trying to determine the best place on the bike to put the compressor. With ABS the right side is out, and under the left side is the fusebox and PCV....guess I will just have to get creative.

 

Wow, I NEED this setup. I figure if the shocks were for a Vette it will hold my fat a$$ and my little Ol' Lady. I need this so I can adjust on the fly.

Thanks for the great read! Gonna have to wait to order until payday, Christmas this year killed my slush fund.
