Default Air ride

Ok all parts are ordered for the "home made air ride" so far I have spent 90 dollars for shocks (Monroe) and spade connectors and relay, 30 dollars for solenoid and 5 port block, 94 dollars for compressor and 2 inch gauge. Only thing left to get is all the fittings (1/8 inch) and line from local store. Hopefully by next weekend it will be done. I will try and get some pics to document the install for future reference. Thanks to coolerman69, outlawbagger, hitnhard, and all the rest of those that have done this install and have posted and helped. Sorry if I got SN wrong doing this on my phone

SWEET. Congrats and welcome to the cheap air ride club. You'll enjoy it when it's done. Just make sure you have a fully charged battery when your finished. I was airing it up and dumping it all night long laughing my A#$ off.

Got the shocks installed today wired the compressor relay gauge and switch mounted. Have to wait till Monday to get the fittings and lines as the store is open Monday to Friday. Damn bike looks sick as hell sitting on the ground. Can't wait to get the rest installed and watch the looks on there faces when that air drops out those shocks.

Hey guys I hope you don't mind me digging up an old thread but i am going to try to mod this to work on my Dyna. What I am Not sure of is where I am going to mount the air compressor. Can someone post or tell me where to find the smallest compressor possible. I am going to weld off a section of my swing arm to be an air tank so I can run a smaller compressor. Thanks for all your help
