Dont remember the color. Use your volt meter or test light. Hot wire to the center, one end to hot side of dump and the other to the hot side of compressor, or relay if your using one.

anyone lower their front end as well? I was thinking about putting the progressive 2" kit in up front and was curious as to if anyone else had done this...especially with what you guys have been saying about having to air most of the way up towards the full extended shock...at 13-14 inches in the rear i didn't know what that would be like with lowering the front...thoughts? comments? suggestions?

Very informative!

If you guys are having the problems with bottoming/topping out riding solo/two up what about riding two up with a loaded tour pak and trailer behind...?

My 07 SG rides rough already, so some sort of change is needed. And I love the slammed bagger look! I am definitely adding this mod to my list hoping I get the smooth ride others are getting.

Most of the guys having "issues" are on the 09-up frame. Seems like the set-up works best on the 08 back bikes. As coolerman said the bigger the load the better the system works. Got over 20k on my setup and still love it.
