belt tension
I am ordering all the stuff to install on my 09 ultra classic that I've converted to a streetglide when just joy riding.
My main question that has been asked but not a very clear answer has been givin that I remember reading. That is the belt tension when airing up and out? Has anyone had problems with this or done adjustments to the belt? I am using the monroes.
2nd question. I am looking for a bracket to mount my compressor between the fender and bags running dual exhaust. Who makes a mount for this option using 98c compressor. Thanks

The Corvette shocks gave me trouble. They would slowly drop all the way down and still have all the pressure in them (with no leaks). I would have to stop get off the bike let all the air out. Then air them back up with no load to get them to lift the bike back up. I'm not saying it won't work but it didn't work very long for me. Good luck.

I ordered a Black Magic system reasonably priced for welded top mount and 1/4" tubing all around with the air gauge nothing to cut drill or modify as their claim, will be receiving it on Jan 6 and will install as soon as it gets here. If all goes well it should have 1500 miles on it by the end of this month to test it's functionality and ride quality.

Received Black Magic system today all the components are there but really not a custom fit (nothing is easy to plug in electronically or mounting hardware) thanks to this thread going to make a mounting plate for the side cover. But the kit has 1/4" 360 degree swivel air inlets and outlets push in fit with air gauge but very flimsy micro switch. It should be ready this weekend I'm going with remote only see how goes.
