I think it has to do with the belt being super tight when aired up. I loosened it up a tad, and it's much better.

Tman, for a guy that hated his homemade air ride as much as you did, you sure like to follow this thread!
There are plenty of threads on this fourm that I think are just silly, but I dont follow them and make smart *** coments.
Some day your going to need help with a problem your having, and someone from this thread may have the answer your looking for, I can tell you that the help wont come from me.
Nice ride by the way.

Anyone ever try to limit the amount of rise with something like this: http://www.frightprops.com/pneumatic...0742-0504.html?
On my '12 Road Glide Custom, the shock hits my pipes when raised up. I was hoping someone would know if I could install one of those and it would work like a "cap" on my lifting the bike, keeping it out of my mufflers.

That wont help you Ken, the only way would be to modify the shock itself or some other mechanical way of limiting travel.
All that valve does is adjust how fast or slow the air travels.
Look a few pages back where someone cut 1" off shock rod and rewelded the shock eyelet, I think thats the best fix ive seen.
