Guys, whats the deal with being able to place the compressor on the left or the right?? I checked under my side panels today. The left side has the fusebox and the wiring harness, the right side is taken up with the ECM and somethin else. Is the compressor that tight that you can actually fit it under the panels? I see that alot of you have relocatred the ECM under the battery box. Whats involved inthat? You have to take half the bike apart to mount the ECM under there or do you just stuff it inthere, what? I love this idea and am on the fenceline with orderingup. I want to make sure that I can get the compressor to fit somewhere other that under the fairing...all that room is gonne with stereo equipment....

I mounted mine between the fuse block and the wiring harness. I took the battery out and bolted the compressor right to the side or the battery box. There is a little gap between the battery and the end of the box so I didn't have to worry about anything hitting the battery. The compressor is a little bigger than a 12oz can. It fits under the side cover with no problem.

And here it is on the right side. Remove the ECM out of the black plastic that holds it in place. Remove the black plastic holder and put it on a shelf or drawer somewhere. Stick the ECM under the battery box, remove battery, drill 2 holes and mount.

Default Quick question about wiring the relay

Hey Coolerman69 - I've been following the thread about the air shock install and decided to go for it. I'm trying to gather all the parts now. I'm looking at your diagrams, not so bad, and I am having a hard time figuring out the diagram for the electrical. I tried to message you, but can't figure it out. Your info has been extremely helpful so far. So if you have 2 minutes please let me know. The question I have is how do you get power to the toggle switch? Are you splitting the line from the battery to the relay and the switch? Why not just run the power out to the switch and the + from the compressor and solenoid to the switch? Confused and could use some good advice. Appreciate any help.

I cannot take credit for it because I got it from the long air ride thread. It is a diagram of air ride on a car I think. I will change it up a little but at least we can get the gist of it.
