Air Shock Balance Kits - for sale
I installed my balance kit today. I got it wrong the first time; I removed the whole Schrader valve thinking I was going to screw the new fitting into the hole. After a brief disbelief that my bike was somehow different, I discovered, or should I say read the included instructions which say to remove the valve stem and put tape on the Schrader valve. After an embarrassing e-mail to Jay telling him my shock was different I went back to the shop and installed the kit correctly.
The kit can be installed in just minutes and works great, gone are the days of never getting the same air pressure in both shocks. I purchased a slime electric pump last year and bought a sacrifice hand pump with quick disconnect from Wal Mart. I installed the quick disconnect on the slime pump and it works great, no high pressure comes out of this pump and it takes only about 1-2 seconds to air the shocks. There is no worry of overinflating if you keep your finger on the switch and watch the air gauge as it pumps. I converted a disconnect from my battery maintainer that I plug into my battery maintainer plug on my bike battery it has a female cigarette lighter adapter on the other end that my slime pump plugs into. The slime pump has a 0-60 psi scale that is easy to read. I feel anyone with the air shocks that haven’t already installed a kit like this should contact Jay and install this kit, it takes all the guess work out of airing the shocks and the plus is perfectly balanced shocks. Sorry for writing a book on this, I just wanted to get all the information on one thread. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I had never mentioned I had three Harley’s before I bought my Nomad; so how did he know I wasn’t smart enough before he sent me my kit?

Just an update. I installed my air shock kit on Saturday, Feb 5. I had my seat off a week later, in the process of re-installing my tourpak. Checked the pressure and the kit is holding steady!
