I don't want to run air lines around the bike, I just want each shock to have it's own air fitting, but I can't find the damn things anywhere locally. Guess I'll have to order them online.
I got mine form Phoenix Customs and they look top notch. They forgot to install em for me so they just sent em to me after the fact, but think they got me for like $15 or so. I also didn't care for air lines, and nothing to adjusting em separately with the Progressive air shock pump from Phat. Love that thing. I got the 0-30 psi pump but think I'd have been better served by the next larger pump since I nearly max this one out, but this one would be perfect if you were to add valves to the forks as well.

Thanks GM. Fastenal seems to have most of what I need. I bought a bunch of stuff today. When I know I'm gonna need something I'll take the bolt(s) to be replaced with me to work and swing by Fastenal during lunch to match it up.

The frame is freakin awesome...

Ya man, I broke down and bought the Harley pump a while back. I think it goes up over 50 psi.

I never thought of asking Phoenix Customs. They sent them back to me with just the plugs installed, which is the way they were when I sent them out there. I'll have to shoot them an email and see what they say. Thanks!

Thanks HERE, but I just checked online and they don't have a store east of Ohio or North of Virgina.

I'll find 'em, but will probably have to order them online...

Heck if you have trouble finding them PM me your address. I'll pick up a couple and mail them to you. They're cheap and there's an O'Reillys on every block here it seems.
