Yeah I have tried that, used the good old windex. I am not sure it is leaking from the fittings but may be leaking from the block itself or the compressor. When I first installed it it would stay for weeks, but now it leaks over night. I am going to replace the line with Stainless line. The fittings are the same as are used in paint ball.

Try to get stainless lines that are coated (like clutch/brake lines). I made the mistake of running a tiny stainless wire loom and that bitch cut right through everything it rubbed against - and it aged quickly.

I ordered the standard paintball stuff, I am not sure if they are coated or not..... We shall see, was not too easy to find.

stock stand works fine.. the bike stands a bit straighter but nothing to be concerned about.

My problem was the extra fitting to the psi gauge. It would always leak so I used teflon tape around the compression fitting and that did the trick. wala no more leaks

So let's see some pictures of the bike aired up and down to see the difference. Did you go with the 13" eye to eye or the 12" version?

I will check there, I plan to go back thru it and teflon everything. Even though I did not have to do that on my v rod. We shall see.
