Been waiting for bagger content (HD). Im not brand loyal, but i do find the aftermarket to be full of innovators looking for a little more comfort. I love it. Keep on wrenching!
hi Brandon,nice job , but i would add some thin foam plate or rubber under the pump to reduce vibrations . vibrations are always a problem with electric motors
Interesting. You did a great job of making the best of this kit. I am a little concerned that the stand is going to bottom out pretty easily on the road or launching up into a driveway. Maybe not but it looks suspicious. 😬
It doesn’t long as the air ride stays up like it’s supposed to. That kit wasn’t supposed to be used with the cross pipe as it prevents the stand from going up further. The owner didn’t want the exhaust chopped to a single and asked me to make it work so I did. 🪩🕺🏾
Nah. I later did get a ride on this bike and it handled speed bumps, rail road crossings, no problem. I think it has more issues with the front end handling than anything. Also, to be fair, this kit wasn’t designed for this bike because of the cross over pipe. I made them aware of it before I started and they still wanted it so. 🤷🏾♂️
Nah, this one is a parts bin so it’s overly loud. It’s on some noise isolator pads with the metal bracket but once the bags are on, it shields some of the noise too. You could also add a tank so you’re not pulling from the compressor each time. This kit did not come with one.
Hey Brandon, any idea whether these air ride suspension will fit in Indian Super Chief Limited? If not then any specific model I should look for, Please suggest?
Am I understanding this correctly? You bought an air ride kit and not only are parts missing, but parts are faulty? That’s a damn tough break. Frustrating.

Yeah, I don’t get my hands on them often unless I buy them wrecked. Someone reached out and asked me to install this kit for them.

Cheap but get what you pay for. I used what was available but I agree!

Bran doin his thang! Love from Socal bebe!
Glad to see you're doing well Fam.
Good job. 😊
Had the same problem I cut an inch off the plate to clear the shock
Dude, use your 3d printer to make a new mounting bracket. Those zip ties are sketch.
Nah... Either zips or steel ties. Not steel because it's getting new bags.
Get a cheap hotdog tank. Trust me you’ll think me later. Instant up
I think one should be added too. The owner wanted it as is tho!
@ dirty bird makes one that goes behind the saddlebags it perfect
I personally would not rely on the zip ties. I would make a different bracket.
My life is held together by zip ties
Careful of speedbumps with those legs, looks like a disaster waiting to happen to me.

Hi Brandon 😊
Hi Bridgett 👋🏾
Are all compressors that loud?

Thanks !

there are rumors of a new 2025 Harley Davidson VROD , what do you think ? are they working on this
I have no idea if they are or not but I’m not surprised. Using the new Rev Max engine makes sense tbh.

Yep, exactly that. I didn’t buy the kit but installed it for someone. Made it work on a bike it wasn’t designed for also.
Just say no to air ride! Get yourself some suspension technologies and fall in love!
It rides like crud imo. Not a fan of it. Stiffer than my Sport’s Sedan.
