Primo, Thanx for the info. Looks like I've got a new project to pursue. And thanx for what you do with the Patriot Guard. &nbsp\\;

ORIGINAL: Primo
I just hit the air button and count one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand fouir and&nbsp\\;I'm good to go. Add a passenger and I count to 5.
Primo
One Missisippi works well too!

While in Laughlin, Bikebuddypro had a Roadking on a static display automatically raising and lowering. I noticed&nbsp\\;the time it&nbsp\\;took to fill the shocks was much faster than mine. Aaron mentioned that Touring&nbsp\\;Models fill in less time than Softails.
Mine takes around 25 seconds to completely fill.&nbsp\\;

Once you get&nbsp\\;used to the system it doesn't take&nbsp\\;long to find your&nbsp\\;sweet-spot ride height everytime you hop on.

Okay, enough&nbsp\\;thread-jacking, Johnny what's the verdict?&nbsp\\;

What's the price on one of these set ups.&nbsp\\; I just bought the profile low rear suspension from a forum member just to lower the rear an inch or so. Maybe in the future I may look into this.

Ok, the verdict is in! OH MY GOD!!!!!! I don't know why I did not do this before. Dumb Me. I purposely went over areas
in my neighbourhood that hurt my back. No More. The air ride is hard to explain, you totally feel different than on springs.
Now I'm not dissing traditional shocks, but those of us (me included) that have lower back ailments need to be on this cussion
of air. Dinger & Primo, I gave you 2 guys full credit to Aaron for my reason for seeking him out and he told me to tell you
both thanks. Dinger, Aaron said he did 42 bikes at Laughlin. Will submit pictures tomorrow. Dinger & Primo, thanks again for
turning me on to the Hi-Lo Air Ride System. Johnny

Here are 2 pics showing maximin up and maximin slammed. Too hot to ride today, but I'm riding
tomorrow morning with my regular group, so I will hold off on my next day commentary until tomorrow.

Looks great Johnny! Congratulations! I never noticed that your bike was lowered with the Progressives.

Here's a couple of things to Remember:
Your ride will be bone-jarring&nbsp\\;when fully dropped but the overall ride when filled is soft like a&nbsp\\;pillow!
When filled above normal, your rear wheel&nbsp\\;will&nbsp\\;break loose under heavy braking.
&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;JohnnyBoy, scooter looks great. Your going to love the Hi-Lo air ride. Sure love mine.
&nbsp\\;Pay attention to what Dinger says about over inflation. You will get wheel hop under heavy breaking.

I have bags on my "fun truck" but its not finished. Its like floating. How much did it all run? Would it be hard to install yourslelf? Your bikes looks great. I wonder if you can install the spark shooters like on trucks with bags? They shoot sparks when laying frame.
