here in kansas city there is a company sellingvthe entire setup complete with installation instructions. super easy. they are named Dirty Works LLC. the air ride is called dirty air ride. they have taken the guess work out of everything. check it out. you wont be disappointed. i just added the fast up to my air ride. i love it. i ride a 13 RG
Bad idea for the pump location. The pump get very hot when running to the point where it will burn you if you touch it. Wires and other crucial parts should not be touching or in close proximity to the pump. Also the pump needs air flow to remove the heat ove the heat sink on the piston head. Yohr location will cause premature pump failure. Beautiful bike btw im gonna do a rg convert on my rk eventually. I had the monores on my custo. Kit fyi and i didnt like them they cracked on me an at bottomed out the let my fender sit on my tire. I went with the gabriel shocks. Same price but one inch longer and i like the build better. Stay safe out there n enjoy the ride
$40 more dollars you could've got a JNR Designed air suspension. Everything you needed and video's on where to put everything. But your look like a good setup specially for $250
Thank You it was a great video.I am curious to know how is the ride so far because i have the same model year as your bike. I would like to know where to get a dump solenoid from for this project that you used. Thanks
Are you using a solenoid to fill the shocks or just using the toggle switch to activate the compressor to fill. Also did you do any modifications to the shocks themselves. Read guys are rewelding the joints where the eyelets are and also putting a limiter inside so it doesn’t over air and the shock separate
First the bike looks amazing. What air compressor are you using for that setup. Did you use the corvette shocks as indicated in 999customs post? How long did it take you to get everything setup? Did you have to prefabricate a bracket to get air compressor mounted? Thank you for posting to TH-cam. It really helps seeing the application.
Roy Smith Sorry for the late reply but yes they are the Corvette shocks, no special fabricating was needed, I used a viair compressor and the setup took about 3 hrs but the longest part is figuring out where you want everything to go.
Why from a Corvette? Is it because of how tall they are? I am building a 81 CX 500d trident trike and I want to put air shocks in the rear. Because when trident built the trike part they re used the cx500d stock shocks. And I want to be able to drop it on the ground when parked. Any information would be appreciated thank you for your time
I bought some Monroe air shocks for my roadking but the bolt for the bottom hole is to big did you do any modifying and the top part of the shock has like a nipple sticking out I don't know if I got the right shocks with models did you get if you can remember that be great send me a message back thanks man good job on your drop kit oh yeah before I forget would dump valve did you use the model of it I bought one but I don't know if it's the right one anyway thank you very much hope to hear from you soon
I've got a question where do you buy the kit from and what do you ask for when you're buying it I want to try to install it on my bike I'm handicapped and it's hard for me to get on my bike I would love to be able to drop it and then pick it back up but it cost too much money to do all that but this is a reasonable price for sure
Jason Green Not sure how a single line would work. 1 line would have to to go in from the compressor and the other would have to connect to the shocks.

Awesome breakdown! Thank you for taking the time and going over it step by step
Can you put a parts list in description? like what shocks and everything! I have a 2012 Street Glide I'd like to do.
Can you give part numbers for the compressor and shocks? Love the bike!

That pump don't run long enough to even get warm.
My comp is mounted between the bag and under fender on one bolt.
Beautiful bike, thanks for posting.
Very cool set up for the money
sick RG could you have mounted air compressor behind the bag like I've seen on other kits for street glide I have cvo RG the same set up u know
Nice setup! Nice RG!

i have the jnr they use max air Monroe shock for there system place there own label on them
Enjoyed the video ! What was the part number of the shock please?
I used 18 wheeler air tubes!!
Can u put a part. NUmber list up
425rjb g
Can you show the 1/8 tube routing for the shocks to the compressor, just installed mine but want to see how you did it, looks clean.
Thank You it was a great video.I am curious to know how is the ride so far because i have the same model year as your bike. I would like to know where to get a dump solenoid from for this project that you used. Thanks
Thanks for sharing video. do you have the part numbers for the shocks and air compressor model. Thanks.
No mods needed for the eyelets ?
What brand footboards are those? They look awesome! Where did you get them?
So I read through your comments on your build. What I’m needing to know is what size compressor did you use? Thanks!

Where can i get those foot boards beautiful bike i know it turns alot of heads
What are the part numbers for the shocks, I don’t see it listed anywhere

Great vid
Hello I am
Looking at a similar setup for my bike and I was wondering after all this time later how do they hold up? Also do u do a lot of riding?
How Does It Ride with this Setup ???? The Last time I Replaced Rear Shocks on My Bike They were $125 each Stock HD Air Shocks Looks Great
1995dresser
3 yrs later, no complaints. Rides great.
I'm wondering if these shocks would work on a sportster without the pump. Just a valve stem teed to both shocks? Find the ride you like and leave it.
TugOwar you can do that setup just fine
Hey bud what year of corvette did the shocks come off of? Just saw this video.
Where did u buy the Monroe shocks n air compressor?
Can you get it to ride soft not feel most bumps
Momentary switch so you don’t leave it on!!
Did you have to modify the shocks
I'm stuck on the dump valve part. So there's supposed to be a line on the in and out side of it? I seen one where they had only one line.
Jason Green
Not sure how a single line would work.
1 line would have to to go in from the compressor and the other would have to connect to the shocks.
Ok. So how does the pressure get released when lowering the bike if that makes sense.
What bushing did you use in the shock
Link for the solenoid dump?
Did you have to swap out the bushings on the shocks?
no, pretty much plug & play
@@maxgtv3246 what's all the part numbers I have the same bike cool ride
Is your ride soft or hard,, I had air ride put on a 09 road glide, with corvette shocks and the ride is horrible what can I do
There's definitely a sweet spot. Too much or too little air will be uncomfortable. 80 psi is where I like it.
which viair compressor did you use?
What psi do you run when riding
where did you put your switch

Where did u buy the dump valve?
Blake Biltwell did you figure out which dump valve was used?
Ebay!
What parts store did u buy them from and part #s
