Im not sure if this is allowed.?? For some time i have been unhappy with the position of the air filler for the rear air shocks on the Roadking, and glides. Especially on the roadking it is a pain to get to requiring removal of the panniers. I have come up with a kit to relocate the air filler nipple and also provide a gauge so you can see immediately how much air you have in the system to check your preload. The kit consists of

1 Y Piece, a fitting to air gauge to hose, 1m hose, a stainless steel bracket to relocate the nipple and mount the gauge plus some teflon tape to seal the join between fitting and the gauge.

email me if interested i can send you some pics and further details. I live in melbourne so parts can be posted OZ wide if required.

Mate -what is your email address?

I had another solution to the problem. Get rid of the air shocks. Put a set of custom built YSS shocks on and have never looked back.

Besides the lousy ride I too was a bit sick of pumping up my shocks all the time. Now I can push it a little more and the other half still has a better ride!

hey fred what are the shocks exactly your refferin too mate?? yss-which ones ,,length spring rates etc ??

Sounds good, whats the damage

fozz

Boys,

They are a set of YSS Z 366TRL - 330 with YSS 46-25-35-200 spring. $1118.00 to my door.
With this spring, the preload is just on by a few turns. The 60 click damping is great and I notice a five click change. Also these have a 10mm hight adjustment which I needed because I lifted the front fork length by 30mm.
