Thats a good idea. I didnt even think to do somethin like that. I dont have a manifold set up but i can loop my lines after my 2 reducer fittings. So since you had a small leak in the shocks themselves did you just deal with it or replace the shocks? Im kinda thinkin the warmer weather is whats effecting mine cause i didnt have any issues over the winter.

I had to order new ones.
Now I have a spare since only 1 leaked under the mounting eye.
If you suspect your shocks, remove them from the bike and put them in a bucket of water with 120lbs of pressure in them. Watch from the dreaded bubbles.

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

I have all my parts for this upgrade but I'm not sure I'm fully confident in the wiring. Does anyone have a wiring diagram they can share? I also am thinking about getting a small tank for instant up but again, don't understand the total concept. Lastly, I read somewhere that they did away with the air pressure gauge and went with simply a down setting and an up setting. Would this be adjustable for one up vs two up. Would rally appreciate the help.
