In this video I will walk you through an entire Dirty Air Fast Up Kit install. The smoothest ride that is fully adjustable on the fly! I take an depth look at the rear fast up kit and everything that comes in the kit including an optional 2" digital Gauge also by Dirty Works. Easy to install and can be done by just about anyone with a few simple tools. The Dirty Air suspension system is smooth and comfortable on short or long rides. It allows you to adjust the air pressure on the fly....If your sled is feeling a little too stiff...let some air out...too spongy? flip the switch and add a little air. Its that easy.

Best tutorial videos anywhere. I watch everything SIK puts out. Explained in a way of teaching anyone, skilled or not
Thank you very much! I hope you are enjoying your Holidays! Be safe!
Wow! I didn’t realize how easy it is to install an air ride system! Definitely going to consider. Great video as always Steve. Keep ‘em coming!
Hey Kevin! yeah man pretty easy...hardest part honestly is hiding the wires...and thats pretty easy just time consuming....Ill update soon with a ride.review video when it warms up a bit and i can actually put some miles on it
Thanks for step-by-step brother! I just finished up my install and your video was a huge help.
Hey Steve I just got finished installing my Dirty Air Fast up system for the rear of my 20 SGS. Thank you again for making the video. It was super easy to follow. Eddie Byrd II hooked me up with the setup and you helped with the install . Can't wait to get out on the road to test it out...
Glad to help...hopefully you got some seat time in this weekend!!
@@sikbaggers I did yesterday for a little bit and what a game changer it is. Can't wait to see how a longer ride will feel but I'm very pleased with it!!!
Just installed the dirty air system on my street glide. The ride is amazing, completely changed the ride quality of my Harley. Dirty air is a must guys. Hoping to do the front air soon.
yes sir! Thanks for checking out the video!
How long.is.install ?
How is the air ride treating you after 2 years?
Get er done!
To the point! No BS!
Great job Steve!
Thank you Nick,.,,much appreciated sir.
Thank you for the video, got the dirty air kit headed this way after watching the install process.
Hey Jason.,...glad the video helped man..love the dirty air! Good solid kit and the ride is awesome!
I know this video is old, I’m just now having to replace anything. I originally installed it 8 YEARS ago! Always recommend their system. Great reliability and excellent customer service! Whether by phone or email, they are awesome!
Thx for the video!
8 years is a good run on air ride for sure. Never had any issues with the Dirty air system ...hopefully i can get at least the same amount of time out of my 2 sets from them.
Another 5-Star Maintenance Tutorial! Much thanks from our Biker Community! HDOG
Thanks Steve I used your video 2 years ago to install my air ride. Love it and no problems
thats awsome david! Thanks for the comment and checking ti out..glad it helped!
Really Enjoy your Videos Steven,Thanks again!
Thank you Jeff!
Great install video. I just installed this system on my 2019 Roadglide and you couldn't have made it any simpler.
Awesome man im glad it helped! And thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.
Love my rear Dirty Air fast up kit
Yes sir...put a lot of miles on it down in Daytona and man shes smooth!
Follow up on my last comment, Dirty air fast up kit is the BOMB!!!!! Thank you so much for the install video damn sure had me doing everything right. Also ordered some ciro product after watching some of your install videos. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Hey Jason! Thanks man..yeah the dirty is nice! And those Ciro lights are pretty bright plus really easy to install. you'll love them
Now that you have had it few years. How’s it treating you so far.
You're right about the kool katz at Dirty Air & about the install being easy. I have very little mechanical background & I'm proud to say I installed the Fast up Rear kit with no help. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to add on the front kit. Thanks for the vids Steve.
Hey Carlos...yes sir...super helpful guys that know their stuff! I may be in the same boat here soon on the front air..im undecided at this time
I'm a short guy so I had to do something to get me lower. I also tried several different seats but I just ended up having my factory seat shaved a little bit. It helped somewhat. That's why I'm thinking I might need to do the front as well.
Awesome video again..as always. Thanks brother.
You make it look so easy.. Keep up the good work......
Hey Ed..its truly is an easy install my friend.
the added digital gauge is pretty on point bro for real
Yes sir...im diggin that gauge and the location.
Another great video.
Ok I gotta ask life of the system and the quality of the ride , good install video as usual
Been running it on ym SG for 4 years now...love it. The ride is far superior to the stock set up and a fraction of the cost of legends. Plus adjustable on the fly.
Awesome video. Keep them coming.
Thank you Nick!
I INSTALLED ONE OF THEIR KITS ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO. I HAVE THE COMPRESSOR HOOKED TO A PRESSURE SWITCH AND AN AIR TANK FROM A POLICE BIKE.
Great video..watching this as my local wrench is installing my new dirty air system..did run into a problem with my 2011 CVO Street Glide though..the air compressor bracket hits the rear flush mount taillights..had to notch out part of the taillight mounting bracket..guess on a select few CVO's, some modification is needed.
Nice...youre going to love the air ride man
another great video i wish everything was that easy at least you made it look easy.
Hey Jeff...it truly is pretty easy to install specially with the instructions included. Its a great system
Steve I sure would have if I had not put new suspension front and rear several months ago. I need to slow down the products you show and the quality of parts are amazing. It’s just I purchase then six months later you show exactly what I had been looking for. Keep them coming and I will wait patiently. Staying tuned 😣
You are a great help and are very thorough!!! Made the rear instal for me a breeze. When are you going to do a dirty air front air install?
I have this kit. (Switched from another brand). Love it! Did the front too
Yes sir tom...very nice robust made kit. Im diggi it.
Tom, did you do the front yourself? Did you happen to video it?
@@mikemizell23 I did do it. I did not video that. Sorry. :very simple thought. No way to screw it up
Love your videos!!!! Helped me out on quite a few things especially the Dirty air rear ride. Question tho..... I need to install my front ASAP and was wondering if you have installed it on your bikes as well? Is there a video? I know you mentioned you would be doing it soon. I have a 2018 RGS. Thanks man for your vids!
Thanks! Great vid!!
Great video I have dirty air fast up on mine works great .I need the red tour pack that's on the blue bike in video !!!
Thanks Roger....Yeah thats the Frankenglide at this point..lol its going to paint for custom paint.
SUPER EASY TO INSTALL ! Going to be posting my install pretty soon🙏🏼🤷🏻♂️
Awesome! Glad the video helped !
That’s bad ass. I gotta get that system
Hey Bruce ...yeah man the ride is awesome and easy to install..Ill update soon with a ride/review video when it gets a bit warmer lol
Great install , I run legend air ride on the rear with a tank and skullys compressor with dump valves. My air up buttons are up on the perch mount so you can adjust the air heading down the highway with out taking your hands and eyes off the road trying to find the switch also with legend it came with that safety switch built in not to air up the bike and fall over, don’t ask me how it works I don’t want to find out!😉
Hey Smooth...yeah man I have a switch install video coming up next week for the air and centerstand...Im not a fan of the firewall mounting either. However the safety switch will still be mounted on the firewall..I dont want to take the chance of dumping all my air going down the road..thats about my luck lol
awesome video
Thanks for the info, this should take the guess work out of the install I’m about to do.
Yeah pretty straight forward...glad the video helped you!! Be safe.
Damn...another great video Steve. I'm torn between the Dirty Air and RamAir
Hey tony...The dirty air feels nice man...well built sturdy kit...Im impressed.
You're awesome brother great content thank you
I appreciate that! Thank you for checking it out!
Great video. I have front and rear air on my SG and am looking to add the dual air gauge. Question for you is: what did you use to extend the gauge mount on the rocker box?
Yo Steven! Thanks once again for the work you put into the videos and information. I have been watching for the channel for about three years and made some decisions based on the videos for upgrades on my 14 SG, the most recent was the Willy Shiny enforcer wheel exchange. I commented on that purchase on that video. My next purchase is possibly air ride, I would like to hear your thoughts on both the systems you have installed. JNR vs. Dirty Air. Thanks You
Hey LAlex...yes Im stil playing catch up on comments but I saw it..thanks man! As far as the air ride goes..I had a lot of good luck with the JNR kit at first...its now about 4 years old and has completely failed on me..it started failing after the second year. Not much help from them as far trying to figure out why it was failing me either. Sent me a new fill valve that didnt change anything and that was about it...that was last year..now I can barely get it to come on...so im in the process of switching it out for the Dirty like I installed on the RG here. No issues with it so far...but I wasnt willing to pay to replace the JNR with the same thing I have that failed so quickly.
great info bud
+1 for the posi-taps.. Forgot all about those.
oh yeah they are a little pricey but man they work good. thanks for checking it out!
Oh I’m definitely gettin air ride now! Thanks for the vid!
Nice...very easy install and a very comfortable ride. Been running air on my SG for 4 years and love it.
@@sikbaggers how do you know where to set the air pressure for different weights of people and luggage?
@@carolinarider5237 Its all in the feel. Get the bike aired up where you are flat footed and feel steady. Ride the bike...if its too tight let some out, if its too bouncy add some. There really is no specific air pressure for riders and/or luggage. Feel the bike as you ride and adjust on the fly if you need to. After a few trips out you will know when you find that sweet spot.
Thank you for video. I almost purchased that kit. Until i found jcbaggers in Central Point, Oregon. You Ever install a JC Baggers air ride kit?
I purchased his kit for many reasons, Local PNW manly.
1.price
2. Warranty 100%
3. He does anything for a happy customer
4. Many bike builders use his kit and been in multiple magazine shoots
5. Comes plumped
6. 2hr install for a bad wrencher
7. Uses the best monroe shocks. No need to upgrade shocks.
8. 100% customer support
9. He has 100% sale reviews
10. 100% customer satisfaction reviews.
Thank you again for your videos. They help me. Work on my bike to save money at dealer.
I havent but I have heard of him..it seems he only makes air rides for the older models though...great for guys with 08 or older and 09 to 13 models.
Awesome 😎
Great video
thank you!
❤Tkhs For Sharing
Glad to help!
You are excellent.
Thank you for checking it out and glad the video helped!
its also not a bad idea to swap out the nuts on the air gauge bracket to LOCK nuts...the engine will eventually vibrate them off and u may loose the bracket too while riding. Great Video keep it up!!
Yes After the install I added nylock nuts....when i did the install added some blue loketite and wasn't happy with that
Question. I watched your video about installing centerstand for dual exhaust using a SOB stand. SOB also has air ride. I see you use dirty air suspension here. Which would you recommend? If you were going to install both mods at the same time? Thank you. Great videos.
Hey Steve, thanks for the great videos it’s been really helpful. I hope you’ll post a video on installing passing lamps on RoadKing special. I have a 2019 that could use more lighting in front. Thank you brother!!
Awesome install video. What is the ride like. Tossing up on air or coil ATM
I've seen your video on center stand install for your street glide. Did you do a video for the road glide center stand? I truly enjoy your videos very helpful sir.
yeah and thats an old video to....I dont have one on the RG but im making one soon. Its basically the same install to be honest. I jst figured out how to run the center stand with the dual exhaust now...that first video I was still trying to figure it out.
Hey Steve, thanks for all your videos great job! So I installed JRN with ride height repeater 2 years ago per your recommendation. For the most part I'm very happy but I as well had a few issues with them; 6 shocks were sent to me due to cross threaded fittings! I personally love having the ride height repeater. I've had friends ask me what to install and I have a hard time recommending JNR due to my issues. Do you think it is possible to use the JNR repeater on DA system? and in reverse can I use the DA parts like safety switch or digital gauge on my JNR system?
yes sir....you should be able to use any of this stuff in combo with each other. Nothing down there has a proprietary plug on it. The only difference may be the color of wire from one kit to another..but all that stuff works the same ..you will be good. I still havent worked out my issues with my JNR system.. Ray over at JNR has gone above and beyond trying to help me and is a cool dude..I just cant figure out what it is all of sudden so slow...not all of sudden its been going on for 2 years now...but the fast up used to be pretty fast..now its just mediocre up..cant put my finger on it.
Can the Dirty Air kit be ridden all the way down in case there's a problem and there's no air available?
Have you ever install rockford foster stage 3 on 2020 street glide special with RDRS yet?
Great video. How much weight does all that equipment add? Only reason I probably wouldn’t do it. Thanks for all the hard work always appreciate and enjoy your videos.
Hey David ...its not much at all ...a few pounds ..the best part is is that it is mounted low on the bike..so it really does not effect the way it rides....Ive never noticed it after installing it not even backing it up or pushing it forward. Pretty light weight low mounted system.
Great video, I love the stance of that road glide is that stock wheel in front
Thank you Thomas...no its a 180 fat tire from Native Custom Baggers
Just bought this kit. Quick question. Once the tank is full and the compressor turns off, how many times can you fill and dump before it kicks on again?
Good video. Have you ever installed a front air ride from dirty air?
Will you be doing a video on the center stand? I just purchased an SOB and I an having the hardest time aligning the top bracket to the bottom.
Had a little trash up top throwing the alignment off a bit. It's perfect.
Can you please do a video of the dirty air front suspension?
can you add a video of front air ride to your street glide you're videos are very informative i have a 2018 street glide
We are kicking around the idea of doing front air ...its will more than likely be the RG but its the same processes.
Great video. Detailed enough to feel like I got the info needed to do an install but not too detailed that it gets boring and hard to follow. Having installed both dirty air and jnr which is the best system between the two? I’m ordering an air ride this week and it’s down to these two. Any info to help me make a choice will be greatly appreciated. Thx again
Hey ricky...yes pretty straight forward..I tried not to leave anything out. I have ran both for awhile now and Loved the JNR when I put it on however I have lost most of the fast up in the last year..its juts kinda slow up now on the tank...had it torn apart 3 times and cant figure out the issue. no issues with the Dirty kit at all this far. I like the way the dirty kit has the valves on the tank and not separate crammed up under the side cover. Also Like the main braided line form the compressor to the tank versus JNRs inline connection. Either way works I guess...It just feels more solid. If I had to do it again id more than likely do the dirty to be honest.
👍👍
Thanks for checking it out Smoke!
Have you checked out I-ride air suspension from thunder max as soon as I can afford it I will get cause I’m short inseam if 29
Great vid!
Can you please provide a follow up video for ride quality. I’m really interested but I heard the ride is very stiff and uncomfortable.
Thank you in advance
Yes Sir I will. Ive had air ride on my 14 SG for about 3 years now and love it. If the pressure is set correctly for you or you and your passenger the ride is awesome. The only way the ride will be stiff is if you have no air (hard tail) or way too much air. there is for sure a sweet spot. My wife and I love the air ride.
I have lights in my fender struts so that may pose a problem. I’d like to put air ride on my Ultra LTD. I bought a Road Glide Special with an Exotic Customs system and it’s an amazing ride so want it for my Limited also. Any experience with Exotic Customs systems?
I've seen both your air ride system videos and was wondering which you like best dirty air or jnr
Me too
I see in the video that the compressor and the tank bolts to the framing between the bags and the fender. I have the ciro filler panel lights on my '21 Road King. How hard would it be to install that stuff with the filler panel lights?
Hey John it will be a little more cumbersome with those lights but you should be able to get your wrench in there to hold it while you tighten it. Its really no different than having the fender extension on there that fills those gaps you just have some wires to attend to
I have a 99 ultra with front and rear air ride . (Factory system)
Can you hook that air pump to the front air struts along with the rear shocks if you have them?
Would you need independent pressure valve and gauge for the front?
yes you need a independent valve for the front and rear and 2 switches. The front air would never be the same amount of air as the rear.
Where did you move antenna too? Putting my kit on this weekend. I see you need that hole where antenna bolts up
I took mine off as I have the fender extension that doesnt have a hole for the antenna ....but you can simply remove the bracket, zip tie the metal part of the antenna to the wiring harness and it wont move. It may take some time to get it lined up where the antenna sticks out straight...or get a hidden fairing antenna ...just make sure to get a powered one with a booster.
Hey Steve, love your videos. So I'm really considering putting an air ride system, but does it make the ride much smoother then the stock suspension? I know riding low makes it stiffer, but not planning on riding it with it on the low. Can you help me out? Thanks Steve, keep up with the great videos!!!
Fred
I love the air ride...have it on both baggers and getting ready to install it on the softail too...I've had several different set ups as far as shocks go...legand makes a good standard shock as well though...anything is better than HD's system to be honest.
So how does it ride, Our roads (Concrete) in Dallas are killers to your suspension..Thanks for a great video !!
I love it for the price point...illinois roads arent much better and Indiana is even worse...it flows on those roads pretty smooth.
Hey bro i have a ? For you would you recommend the icon airflite helmet for a turning harly ? Or can u review one
Ive heard great things about Icons helmets...If I ever get one I will surely review it.
how much weight does these shocks support? I have a air ride kit (not dirty air) that just went out on me...
Id say quite a bit, with our tour pack loaded down and saddlebags plus another bag on top plus us were probably at about 500 pounds total and had no issues.
Hello there. I came across your vids. Great content! To my trained eye, am I seeing an NPT female threaded air fitting threading onto the JIC male thread of the shocks?
Its a push to connect fitting
@@sikbaggers, gotcha. Thank you for your reply! That’s the tube into fitting connection, correct? What of the fitting thread connection to the shock?
Hey Steve question for you, I really want a set of BAM mufflers with the 2.5” baffles or a set of the bad dadds but the price is killing me, have you had any experience with any of the slip ons from Amazon ?
$200 sure beats the hell out of $500 but I don’t want to buy some shit I’m going to be replacing in a year because of rust or something else………thanks for any info and happy new year 🎊🎆
Hey Steve I havent really used any from amazon...One set I think on a 2017 SG and they are still on there to this day...I service that bike all the time and I have never heard the man complain about them..They sound just like most aftermarket exhausts to be honest. Have a Happy New Year my friend!
Seen your video on the Dirty Air kit ordered the rear system for my 2019 Street Glide Special, with digital gauge and the up and down on the bars, can't wait. Wanted to ask do you have any videos of using the system while riding or even setting up the system for first ride solo or with 2 up?
There really is no way to shoot a video thats going to be specific to your riding style, weight either 1 or 2 up...its really just how "you" want it. I can say that at first I would air the bike all the way up, let the air out until im sure footed on the ground. That was my ride height. But after you have it for awhile youll get used to where it "feels right" you can just air it up and down while going down the road...my biggest thing was adding too much air while riding and then get to a stop sign and im tip toed lol so I learned to just set it and ride and stop playing with it..as I got more comfortable with the system I started playing with it some...but start there..either 1 or 2 up just air it all the way..let some out til your flat footed and ride there.
@@sikbaggers thank you
Steve my friend air ride suspension looks awesome. I just have one question what does it do to the geometry of the bike? I read a lot that lowering blocks throw off the geometry of the rear suspension. I’m just wondering what the air ride does to the belt tension? Thanks rsfm 😀
well the air ride is meant to be air up to ride height when riding. It will throw it off if you ride super low or even high. The optimal riding position of the bike is the bottom of the frame is parallel with the ground. That being said I dont ride that way. I ride slightly lower than stock height. But its nothing you cant handle in corners. It does change slightly but not like a huge difference. You get used to it after a few rides.
Steven Housden
Sorry Steve thanks for the insight. Guess for the vertically like me 29” inseam air ride would be sweet. Thanks again.
That toggle switch will get hot af right there.
had it there on my Sg for 4 years now...its actually where the maker of the air ride suggests you put it. It may get hot....doesnt effect it...so its fine.
@@sikbaggers Yeah it's fine, works and it's the best air ride out there in my opinion but don't take off your gloves before you air it down after riding in summer. It get's hot right there believe me. I'm gonna move it.
@@sgtrock2821 use this switch from AF Kustoms if you don't want to burn your hand.,.I have installed several, one on each of my bikes actually...its perfect. th-cam.com/video/MvLqmvQH8j4/w-d-xo.html
Hello, i was wondering if you can answer my question. Can i use the air ride suspension while i am moving or not? For example, when i am on a red traffic light should i have it on a lower level and when the traffic lights turn on green turn it on while i am moving?
You can always adjust the air , if you are moving or not...If youwa not to let some air our or put some in just flip the switch..You can let some out at the light and then add some more aiur while you ride. I don't recommend dumping all the air out at the light and then trying to fill it while riding..the shocks ar ewnot designed to be rode with no air in them. You can lower it a little and then add air while grinding though yes
How does it ride without rebound control? I would think it would buck you up every time you go over a bump. Wouldn’t legend be better
The air shocks expand, travel and rebound like normal shocks....there is no bucking as long as you have sufficient air in the based on your weight. Thats the part you need to figure out o your own as everyone is different Once I find the sweet spot in air ride it makes for a great smooth ride.
I know its an old videos, hopefully you still check the comments. What kind of kickstand are you running for the bike after putting the air ride on the rear? Ive looked at center stands, but i park on uneven surfaces a lot and gravel as well. Trying to find a shortened jiffy stand, but idk if a 1" lower stand is sufficient for aired out... any help is appreciated man, and keep these awesome videos coming! You've helped me with a lot of trying to decide what parts would be best for my build! 🤘
Keep the stock kick stand on there..no need to buy a 100 dollar 1" shorter stand..the bike can air out and lean over on the stand just fine with no issues. Lots of guys do it.
Awesome, thanks man. I was finding a bunch of conflicting answers online. Thanks again for the videos!
Great videos I watch them all, I have a question I installed rear air ride added the tank but when I turn the key on it my compressor kicks on like the tank is filling up but it airs my shocks up do I have something wired wrong? Thanks in advance for any help
yes you have something wrong for sure. The compressor is kicking on and should be holding until you hit the switch.
@@sikbaggers any ideas on what it could be thanks for any help
Hey bro I’ve gotten the FAST UP KIT AND THE PRESSURE GAUGE where did you get that rocker box bracket for the gauge??
It came from Dirty when I ordered the gauge
I'm fairly sure I prefer clean air, thank you.
Im fairly sure its just a name lol
@@sikbaggers yeppers lol
I'm new to the Harley world, suspension is talked about alot in my group of bike friends. My bike has stock suspension. Is air ride suspension better than the Ohlins adjustable or is it rider preference
the two suspensions are very different but both offer a good ride...and way better than stock, either way you go. Air ride allows for on the fly adjustability and a smooth ride and ohlins offer more of a superior ride but needs adjusted to your riding, weight, etc. which needs to be done on the shocks itself. If you dont change your weight a lot (2 up or 1 up ride, touring luggage etc) then the ohlins would better because adjusting them isnt easy. If you are riding somedays 1 up and some days 2 up or you are traveling off and on all year changing the weight of your luggage I would go air. I specifically use air because use an electric center stand on both bikes.
Awesome vid bro.. JNR on one and DA on the other.. which one do you like best to include service after the sale.. Cheers!
Hey James...both are great systems in their own right...however im diggin the DA with the bigger tank and the valves being mounted on the tank now...Get an answer every time I call DA....here lately with JNR not so much. Called several times with no answer and couldn't leave a voicemail.
I have e filler lights between the saddlebags and fender, where you put the air line from the compressor to the air tank won't work the way way you have it
its not really "the way i have it", rather than the way it goes....there is no other way to run this line.,..its made to fit exactly the way i ran it in the video sir.
What center stand did you use? Does it work with crossover pipes ?
I sue the SOB and yes but watch my video on how to run it with a crossover pipe. th-cam.com/video/MOa0YZ8G0-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OlLqmxrTMvnr1Tun
How’s the dirty air for two up? I put legend revo a on my king and love them but now I want to drop it on a center stand but want Moma to still ride with me.
its great for two or one up...I ride 99% two up ..she goes every where with me and we love it! Superior ride!
Sik 😎😎
Thanks Ben!
Between the jnr and dirty air what do you notice the differences are? Or are they basically the same kit?
as far as ride goes yeah they are close...The Dirty kit seamed better built to me though. I will know over the long haul how it goes...time will tell
Will this kit work with the dominator fender from advanblack?
yes if you check my newer videos I have the dominator on this bike
can you do a video on installing a Front end air ride
I will be doing one shortly...im ordering one today
😊
what size an where can I get the bolt extensions
Did you get the premium aluminum shocks or the standard ones from Dirty air?
playing catch up on my comments after daytona bike week! I did get the standard shocks though. had no issues with them and the ride is great!
Isn't that "cup" on the pressure gauge supposed to be a sunshade? And installed on the topside of the gauge?
absolutly not..it sits in the cup and hides the connections at the bottom so you don't see the wire harness.
Do you like this system better then the jnr you have on the silver street glide?
well..i loved the jnr system when i got it and it seems the shocks or something has went down hill...My fast up is now ( kinda slow up) been that way over a year. Had the whole system apart and on the with JNR a dozen times with no luck. So I thought I would try the dirty...the ride is about the same...maybe a little smoother on the dirty side...but time will tell how long they hold up
