got it- then there is probably some type of max pressure valve that starts to bleed off after a certain point. if you figure it out definitely post a new thread here on it. good luck!

 

After you initially set the ride height and rebound how long are you holding the compression switch for to firm up the ride? It was a while before I found out they used smaller compressors on the abs bikes and mine was constantly soft no matter what I did. After I discovered this and talking to some folks on here I was told I wasn't running the compression side long enough to firm up the ride. You say it should take 17 seconds to get it maxed out. If my shocks are completely empty it takes mine a lot longer then 17 seconds just to get it to lift all the way up. After raising mine up then getting the ride height set where I want with the rebound switch I'll air the compression side up for at least a minute and I'm good. I can go longer than that and riding two up its hard as a rock.

Maybe try running the compression a little longer to see if that helps

 

After I set my rebound, I firm up the ride. You can hear the pitch of the compressor change as more pressure builds up. Eventually, I don't hear the pitch change anymore. I think at this point the compressor is maxxed out and will not increase the pressure. I never timed how long I've kept it on, but it was a pretty long time and it didn't get "hard as a rock". It's very spongy at best.

Hell, I ran the ride height all the way to the top last time we rode together jut to keep it off the hard stops. No rebound at all.

Not to be nosey, but when you ride 2up, how much is the total weight? Between the OL and I it's over 400lbs.

 

hey you do realize that ShotgunShock's advertisement promo says "no bottoming out" as a feature. So you may want to hold them to that one

I'm still interested in what you come up with so good luck with it.

 

Dam it's been a while since I've been on here. It took me about 30 minutes to read through all the new posts on this thread.


Just wanted to drop a few updated pictures of my bike. Got some powdercoating done and put a chromeglow rear fender light in.

 

Someone is going to get a kick *** Breakout. Glad you'll still be around...you've definitely helped a lot of us out with sound advice.
I'll buy you a beer next time I'm back home in SD.

 

^^ Your BO's looking sweet - good to see ya back. really like the powdercoated rails vs the chrome ones.

 

Thanks man!

 

HI, can you say me where I can buy your plate holder? thanks

 

Can anyone let me know how the rear fender comes off of a '15 Breakout. I need to take the license plate light/holder off and install a blank light standoff. Thanks!
