I think so..... There's a lot of **** under my right side cover with the ECM and the PCiii connections. I think it'd be much easier to put the compressor under the battery rather than all of that stuff. I may take another look today. If I do, I'll get some pics.

I see that alot of you have relocatred the ECM under the battery box. Whats involved inthat? You have to take half the bike apart to mount the ECM under there or do you just stuff it inthere, what? I love this idea and am on the fenceline with orderingup. I want to make sure that I can get the compressor to fit somewhere other that under the fairing...all that room is gonne with stereo equipment....
i was able to fit it under the fairing with a rocford pbr amp on top of the radio tight speeze though but worked

I've been following thread from page 1 and have a couple of questions. Can the Corvette shocks be put on and still retain the stock air fittings? This would allow the compressor and fittings to be added later or this even practical? I know the whole purpose is to install an on the fly system, but if a budget is a problem, it is too hard to add the compressor, lines and solenoid at a later time?

I didn't see this asked in all 18+ pages so I can't be the only one thinking about the shock change first and adding the rest of the system later.

Any input would be appreciated.
