More questions about the bagger air shocks on a Dyna
I got my Electraglide shocks today and I'm getting ready to install them.Any tips,ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.They're connected together by a small air line that feeds into a valve.I think I could do a cleaner job of mounting them if I took the lines off and re installed them after mounting the shocks any thoughts on that? If I unscrew the fitting for the lines is oil going to leak out?Is it possible to shorten the lines?What about eliminating them alltogether and going with a valve per side?

I put them on my 07 bob. Go to napa auto partsand get part # 90-294 tank valve (2)
theywill screw into each shock. You may also want to get HD air pump#54630-03A
I also found riding solo that about 5psi will do, two up 10 to 15psi loaded maybe 20psi
Hope this helps.

I threw them on and tucked the schrader valve under the seat. If you push in on the red pieceof the fitting the air line goes into you can remove the air line and cut it to length. As long as you bleed the air out of them and don't tip the shocks over the oil won't come out. Smooth ride.
