Is this everything that is needed to balance your shocks?

vidornomad · 05-24-2010, 02:30 PM

Yes that looks like everything, also If you want to add a gauge go to Gadgets site, I did mine just like Gadget said and worked great. Nice to see how much air is in there.

That is what I have, and then in time I made a braket and added a gauge. I also added another air inlet for car air shocks, blocking off one feed to an air shock. The idea having a easier place to add air, since the kit on the 1600 is near to impossible to reach.

it can be done, but it ain't easy.

Here's a pic of my gage. I used an old bungee cord hook, JB welded the gage to it and attached to the rear bag guard.

Again, I bought 100' of the air line, have shipped a lot to forum members and have plenty left. Any body need some send me a PM, it's free.

josh · 05-27-2010, 06:53 AM

And winning against apparently, I only put in 1 bid up to $11

**Jared** · 05-27-2010, 09:29 AM

FYI- This kit can be found online for $22, so don't bid war it up too high or you'll be paying too much.

dougster · 05-28-2010, 12:19 AM
