Bada** video...is this the Monroe shocks air ride? Exactly what I am looking to do. What was the hardest part of the install?

looks pretty kewl man, give some details on how to?

I used Gabriel sky jacker shocks from a 68 vw bug. A viaire 92c compressor, a dump solenoid from the heavy duty truck parts store. 1/4"air line on everything, push to connect fitting. a glow shift pressure gauge. A remote controller that powers everything. I bought a new right door for the gauge and mounted it. Everything else fits under the right side cover. I'll put together a parts list eventually. Right now I'm working on a couple other bikes and working on a removable trunk for this bike.

Seemlezdesign, it's all pretty straight forward. Air line and electrical.

Thanks for the info, seems pretty straight forward..did the bushings for the shocks work or did you have to replace them?

I replaced them but only with something serviceable. I still need to find the correct bushings.
