Here is the link to the original thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...installed.html My shocks are 49304 Gabriels for 68-72 Corvette. Amazon had them at $64. Compressor is a Viair 098c from 4wheeldriveparts at $60. Bushings are Energy Suspension 9.9105G. Will take 2 boxes at $11 each on Amazon. Bushings will have to be shortened a little to meet in the middle of the shock eye and set flush against the outside. Used a 1/4 air valve from E-bay that was $22. 2011 CVO Ultra power lock switch mounted in the switch cap is what I use to control up and down. The remote control is just for fun. Bolts, lines, fittings etc are Napa. I run the compressor thru a relay but the air valve is just straight thru the switch. Bike is a hard tail when the shocks are completly lowered but the tire does not rub. I'm running a 150/70 18 rear. Bike rides great 2 up or solo. Nothing was modified on the bike as far as shock mounts so it can be returned to stock anytime. My bike is an 08 without ABS so everything is mounted to a plate I fabbed under the right side cover. 4k miles this year on the setup.
Duraglide,
