well i want to get the lock/unlock switch to put on the dash but the toggle switch fit in an existing hole in the frame i can get to it if i had to adjust it on the fly but what i have been doing is lifting it to ride height before i leave. I still havent even put a pressure guage just wanted to get it going this weekend all of the finishing will come soon enough.
Coolerman, have you ever tried to get an electric oil pressure guage and plumb the sender into the airride and use the guage as an air pressure guage, i know it wont be accurate but all we are looking for is a point or refrence. The harley oil pressure guage is electric, so all you would have to do is take it apart and put the guts inside of the ambient air temp gauge like you did with the mechanical air gauge that you made.

Slammed- I've had the parts for almost 3 weeks, and nothing installed yet. I've been busy every weekend, and its getting damn cold out here.
cheers,

I'm working on this setup on my 2010 SG. I'm adding the pressure gauge in the dash and need to know if I need to connect the gauge before or after the dump valve? I' thinking that i could mount the pump, dump valve and the gauge all in the fairing, then run one line under the tank to the rear and then tee off to the shocks where the stock tee is.
Thanks
