#210515 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Air Ride Questions 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Questions for you air ride folks .... I have a two-up setup that I use once in a while. When I get someone heavy on the back the tire rubs on large bumps. I assume that the tricky will allow me to raise the rear to prevent this from happening? As you raise it up does the ride get firmer? Thanks, Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #210544 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Air Ride Questions 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Only speaking from the Venture Royale I had before the Roadie, Doc, but my air system definitely made the back firmer when I increased the psi. Don't know if this helps ya or not in your situation.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #210545 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

At 120lbs, it's at ride height and pretty firm. If you put another 10-20 lbs., I'm betting you could put Big Bear behind you (not that I'd suggest it for obvious reasons). But, should be rock solid. Obviously, I've never even had a back seat on my bike, so don't hold me to it...

If 120# is ride height ... can you pump it up more or is that the max you can go up? At 120#, I gather from your comments that it's stiffer than stock with the preload maxed out?

It's harder if yer' stupid(J.Wayne) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4599 Re:Air Ride Questions 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Doc: At 120lbs, it's all the way up with a little bit of squish left in it. 120lbs is not the max of the system(don't really know what is). But, it is the max in the air pressure sensor I put on. It tops off below 90lbs and shuts down the compressor right where I wanted it at 120. I couldn't speak to how it rode stock(dealership to home). I only had 10 miles on the bike before I yanked the stock shock off...

Shock (vs air bag) is the way to go.   Logged     2008 Road Star Tricky Air Ride(remote controlled) 6-degree Raked Front-end Ape Hangers w/Internal Throttle & Wiring RoadHouse Dooleys Bunch of chrome Online Album http://www.TampaSVT.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #210630 N0THD (User) Always getting there- never done. Expert Boarder Posts: 461 Re:Air Ride Questions 2 Years, 10 Months ago   One of those, if I remember correctly has some sort of two button deal that locks the rie height with whatever amount of air pressure you wish. I think it was BMS.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #210702 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2382 Re:Air Ride Questions 2 Years, 10 Months ago   hey Tampa, what's that set up go for? the wife & i are getting into long distance riding & this might be something to look into   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
