Re:Greeny got Slammed! 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Thanks all for the kind words.

It's lowered using the Tricky Air kit. There's still clearance with it all the way down.

Some asked about the bar on the back. Custom World International makes it. I originally wanted one of Landon's but nobody's selling them so got the CWI instead. I think it was a blessing in disguise as I am really liking the CWI bar. It looks good with a fender rack too.

Oh and it's amazing how a camera doesn't pick up dirt.

Re:Greeny got Slammed! 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
I haven't tried that yet Doc. I want to make sure there's in fact a half inch of clearance. It pushes around just fine with it all the way down. Rode it around the block halfway aired up Sat afternoon and the rebound felt great. I started at 3 turns out and so far, so good. Hoping to get out today for a real test.

Which side did you run the hose down to the shock? I went down the right side as the belt on the left side concerned me a little.

I went done the left side 'cause the pump mount better on the right side of the swing arm pivot so the hose run to the pump is better.

The only concern I had was the hose rests against the dogbone but I gave it some slack so it's loose. A yearly check should do the trick to make sure nothing has worn to concern.

With it down all the way I realized why I don't like rigids. Decreasing the tire pressure would help a lot in softening the ride.

JGR it's a Mustang touring seat that has been separated from the passenger pillion. I've done mine the same way.

Re:Greeny got Slammed! 7 Months, 1 Week ago  
Well this is an old thread!

I actually just took off the air ride last month in anticipation of selling the bike. I love the look of a slammed bike and will be lowering my new ride in the future.
