Air Suspension installed!

So it has been a while, but finally got the air suspension installed. While waiting for the bracket I had a brainwave and decided to install the switches on the handle bars using the Aux switch housing from HD. Easy to reach and looks OK to (note to self: take a picture of the handlebars....)

So after borrowing a bike lift managed to get the air suspesnion from Shot gun (JD Braun) on. This is the end result:

This is the suspension fully raised:


This is with the suspension fully lowered:


Some installation shots, the relay was mounted on the right side of the gearbox, on "spare" 5/16 hole:


View from below, the black box is the airshocks themselves, you can see the air line on the right, which comes from the compressor:


The compressor is just visible in fron of the rear fender, mounted below the transfer case:


Partnumbers for the housing: 70213-02c and an additional switch cover: 71715-02

And a thanks to Dennis from Top Down Products, even though I didn't use the bracket in the end, he gave me first class service, HBK could learn something from him, Thanks Man!
