TECHINCAL POINT: After selling air and pressure gauges of all kinds for 11 years in a past life, I know the industry standard calls for twice the pressure rating of the max pressure in usage for best accuracy. 150 lbs usage = a gauge with 300 lbs max capacity.

Primo

What if in reality we are only running these shocks in the range of 30-75 punds of air? Then would a 150 gauge work?
If running between 30-75 lbs max then 150psi rated gauge should work fine.

Bountyhunter: Are you planning on trailering your 7hp Sears compressor behind you for that 1000 psi?

Will the trailer have no clamps?

but.... by definition, could a hitch be considered a clamp?

I'm thinking this shock thing just might translate to a new exhaust system for our friend north of the border....

1000 PSI shocks? If you need them, PLEASE DO NOT post pics of any ladies you put on the back of your bike.

in my experience with Progressive AirTail...first i used a gauge, then the CLAMP broke ... after that i used NO gauge ... adjusted by feel...feel or comfort is the goal in riding and my butt is the ultimate gauge...i'll fiddle with one for yall's enjoyment if you find a small digital, rectangular or no more than 1" diameter, to hard mount in the fairing

A whole lot easier and more expensive...a SICK/cool piece...that I GOTTA have. Likely not far of the price of the entire DB system though!
