This slick find by Big Tom deserves a thread of it's own. Look's like the ULTIMATE kick *** contender to control/monitor the Draggin' Bagger's system. How about the automatic ride height feature....get's cooler, by the day!
Dang, just got in from street vibrations in Reno, spent a ton of $$ on this trip[:@] and I log on only to see i need to spend more. Come on Bounty, give us the details... How's a guy to sleep?
UPDATE: Just heard from Mike at Dakota Digital.....No firm price yet on the digital rocker gauge and the unit will not be shipping, for at least a couple more months....[>:]NFG!
I thought the Draggin Baggers system used a 3 position switch. Would this work? Tony can you give us an idea if this set-up would work just by looking at it. This is the one thing that was holding me up from buying (although I happily caved and made my purchase yesterday), having a gauge would allow us to make sure when we find that sweet spot, we hit it every time. I guess we could just go with a standard air pressure gauge and leave the switch where it is.
I like this gauge and the buttons, however I prefer the left side placement for safety reasons. Everyone has their opinion and the end user gets to decide. I adjust my system all the time for different road conditions, I do not look down. In California, if I took my hand off the throttle for one second I would get run over by the traffic behind me... I also ride on group rides, if every biker is letting go of his throttle then the chance for accidents increase... We spent alot of time on a safe placement for our control switch, and I am sure if given a chance to try our location you may agree, it works well and is in a position in which you do not have to lean forward to the fairing to adjust... Again it works for us, I am not saying for others it is a must it just works... As for the gauge it looks real nice and very high quality, might raise our system by $200 or more??? Just my take on things and I am more than willing to learn what riders have to say!!!

Tony,
I have my dragginbaggers on order already and cant wait. Can you tell me the pressure range the shocks work in? I am very intrested in finding a guage to install someplace. The Dakota one looks nice, but my oil pressure guage is alreade in that spot.
Thanks,
Jeff
Tony - Thanks for the input. Exactly what I was looking for and all good points. Do you know of an air pressure gauge that would replace the worthless air temp gause on the newer baggers? I really like the idea of being able to tell exactly how much pressure is in the system at any given time.
