Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Re: rear air suspension compresser
I added a compressor some years ago and it has worked well. You can adjust your air pressure on the fly for load and road conditions.

Re: rear air suspension compresser
I used this compressor.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/THOMAS-115ADC56 ... 25a7925558" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I only paid about $12 each for them several years ago. I used Parker quick connects and installed a check valve and in line regulator.
The adjustment are made using a micro 3 way switch installed in the headset cover that activates a 2 position 4 way valve.
I have a 1" air gauge mounted where the rear air fill valve used to be. I left all the original connections so if I had a failure, I could reconnect OE connections by removing the right fairing.

Re: rear air suspension compresser
Get progressive spring shocks & forget about air adjustments etc.
You won't believe the improvement in ride over the stock shocks

Re: rear air suspension compresser
Recall that his original question was if anyone had installed a rear air suspension compressor? Not if it was more expensive or if it was the best option or what someones opinion was. I answered his question.

Re: rear air suspension compresser
I'm sure the original question was answered but this IS an opinion section.
