Yeah, it's the case of the never eding thread!

Hey Stone, did you decide if you want to try the Baron with a Tricky switch and Solenoid?

I'm going to end up cutting my neck because of your little question.
And now you got Rich contemplating suicide!

Quick question about belt tension for you air ride guys. Where do you set the tension on your belt? Do you do it with the rear all the way up, in the middle, or down?
Your going to want to adjust it in the middle (which I'm going to assume is your typical ride height). It doesn't really matter if it's a tad loose once you drop it all the way down, people don't typically buy our system so that they can ride rigid, even though you could if you wanted to.


Well said...

I have been thinking... where or how do you adjust the rebound on your system? Is it at the Shock or is it at the solenoid? If it is at the shock, then I am seriously contemplating the whole system...

Re:Air Ride 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Now I forget if it was in this thread or the "Air Ride Questions" thread where I answered this one (and by the way I just answered that thread as well if any one is still following that one). But, it's on the shock itself. There is a gold colored valve toward one end of the shock body which regulates the fluctuating air flow in and out from the under side of the piston. By turning this valve counterclockwise, you increase the airflow causing a softer rebound. Turn it clockwise and you will decrease airflow, causing a more rigid ride. Really simple, very comfortable.

Come on Stone, go ahead and get it - then you'll give a great testimonial... then everyone else will get one too... then I'll take over the world with my RS Army!

OK... maybe not world domination, but you'll have a great kit. A good testimonial is Baclay9, he's got one on his Warrior and you can't stop that guy singing our praises! I should hire him

Re:Air Ride 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Believe me... I want to really bad! I must sell the Barons Air Ride first (going on flea bay soon) then I will be able to get your kit! I really like having the air ride, I still like the one I have now... I just want more! and you guys have what I want and being able to add a remote to it easily is a huge plus! being able to sit at my desk and watch customers freak out when the bike lays flat and raises up on its own, will be classic! And being able to firm up the ride is a mojor plus... dont worry, I will be selling your kits soon enough!

OK OK, I can't stand it anymore. Put me down for one of your rake kits, should you put it back into limited production... She is going to have a whole new look come next Spring.
