Default out with air??

I have 01 electra-glide classic done away with rear air shocks with progressive 912 great upgrade to me now the front has progressive cartridge 1inch lower is it possible to do away with air to front? other idea was to move air fitting to batwing because I bolted saddlebags on and you cannot add air with bag on.cannot leave thing alone changing out headunit from jvc to kenwood.

Regarding air in your forks, those cartridges should be good enough on their own, from what I've read. If you currently have some air pressure in the forks, let it out and try your bike like that. If it rides OK then you can go ahead and remove all the air stuff. If you prefer the ride with some air in it, but still want to remove the air parts, then we have to look a bit deeper! Let us know what you find.

If you do away with the air you could add some screaming eagle fork oil and that should give you a firmer ride up front too
