Default Air Shock Valve Relocation Kit - Opinions

Taking the bag off the EG Ultra to adjust the rear air shocks can become a pain. Anyone try one of the relocations kits like this one on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/230929564048...84.m1423.l2649?

I relocated mine as described in the following thread. No kit needed. Just a few feet of new air line is all that's necessary.

Loosen the bracket and move it around, the hole is bigger than the bolt.
You will get it in a postiton. No need to take off a saddlebag.

Get together with a friend and order a set of flexible duallie valve extensions: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-8-25-Flexi...307#vi-content

Brings the cost down to about $10

Yup, but I will eventually relocate it completely off the bike and upgrade to something a little better.
For now, I just open the bag and can get the flexible hose in there.

I removed my valve and placed it in the tour pack and ran longer air lines from each shock. Just lays in the bottom of the pack next to the 12V socket. Easy to reach and no issues at all. Also keeps it out of the weather. Cost, a few penny's for the air lines and 5 minutes of time. Air lines were run into the pack where the electrical wire looms enter at behind the passenger on each side.
