2) 1/4'' tees push connect
2) 1/4'' x 1/8'' reducers push connect
3) 1/4'' push connect x 1/4 threaded
1) 1/4'' close nipplle brass
1/4'' soliniod valve off ebay
2) small rolls or wire
1) harley saddle bag lock switch
2) peformance racing bushings for upper shock mount
4) 1/2'' x 2-1/2'' grade 8 bolts

i believe that covers everything i used. i had a 4-way to use instead of the 2 tees but it didnt work as well in the space provided so i went with tees.

MA785 is part number for shocks. you can find them anywhere online or at local auto parts stores. i cant remember where i ordered mine from becuase it was over a year ago. i know amazon has them. are you looking to do this set up? if so do a search (air ride installed) and find the thread from 999 customs or outlaw bagger. they have great write ups and details. thats where i got most all my info from.

I don't see why not. I have room all around the tire when laid out completely.
Just curious, Did you have to change anything to run a 200?

ITs on a 18" wheel. Nothing else changes but pretty tight clearance on the sides

I did the Monroe set up , but seems to bottom out , or there's a banging sound even aired all the way up . I saw the thread on maybe trans hitting swing arm just wondering if that's the case . This on a 2011 glide .
