I'm a short guy so I had to do something to get me lower. I also tried several different seats but I just ended up having my factory seat shaved a little bit. It helped somewhat. That's why I'm thinking I might need to do the front as well.

Hey David ...its not much at all ...a few pounds ..the best part is is that it is mounted low on the bike..so it really does not effect the way it rides....Ive never noticed it after installing it not even backing it up or pushing it forward. Pretty light weight low mounted system.

My air up buttons are up on the perch mount so you can adjust the air heading down the highway with out taking your hands and eyes off the road trying to find the switch also with legend it came with that safety switch built in not to air up the bike and fall over, don’t ask me how it works I don’t want to find out!😉

What I found was when I was with a group of riders that either had fast up or no air at all they were taking off and I was airing up my bike still..kinda sucked. Aft er one riding season I was tearing back into it to add the fast up..its pretty instant. Honestly id go grab a pillow and spare blanket.

Yes Sir I will. Ive had air ride on my 14 SG for about 3 years now and love it. If the pressure is set correctly for you or you and your passenger the ride is awesome. The only way the ride will be stiff is if you have no air (hard tail) or way too much air. there is for sure a sweet spot. My wife and I love the air ride.

@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 3 года назад
Lots of advantages to air ride..and yes all of the things you listed are included. with about 3 inches of air travel they can be adjusted so you are flat-footed at stops, back up the bike easier, etc. Reduce bottoming out, adjustable on the fly so you can raise, lower while you're riding, adjust for passengers or heavy loads in saddlebags, tour packs. lowering the bike slightly increases ride stability..the list goes on.

Any info to help me make a choice will be greatly appreciated. Thx again
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 4 года назад
Hey ricky...yes pretty straight forward..I tried not to leave anything out. I have ran both for awhile now and Loved the JNR when I put it on however I have lost most of the fast up in the last year..its juts kinda slow up now on the tank...had it torn apart 3 times and cant figure out the issue. no issues with the Dirty kit at all this far. I like the way the dirty kit has the valves on the tank and not separate crammed up under the side cover. Also Like the main braided line form the compressor to the tank versus JNRs inline connection. Either way works I guess...It just feels more solid. If I had to do it again id more than likely do the dirty to be honest.

The air shocks expand, travel and rebound like normal shocks....there is no bucking as long as you have sufficient air in the based on your weight. Thats the part you need to figure out o your own as everyone is different Once I find the sweet spot in air ride it makes for a great smooth ride.

I've had friends ask me what to install and I have a hard time recommending JNR due to my issues. Do you think it is possible to use the JNR repeater on DA system? and in reverse can I use the DA parts like safety switch or digital gauge on my JNR system?

Ray over at JNR has gone above and beyond trying to help me and is a cool dude..I just cant figure out what it is all of sudden so slow...not all of sudden its been going on for 2 years now...but the fast up used to be pretty fast..now its just mediocre up..cant put my finger on it.

I'm new to the Harley world, suspension is talked about alot in my group of bike friends. My bike has stock suspension. Is air ride suspension better than the Ohlins adjustable or is it rider preference
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 11 месяцев назад
the two suspensions are very different but both offer a good ride...and way better than stock, either way you go. Air ride allows for on the fly adjustability and a smooth ride and ohlins offer more of a superior ride but needs adjusted to your riding, weight, etc. which needs to be done on the shocks itself. If you dont change your weight a lot (2 up or 1 up ride, touring luggage etc) then the ohlins would better because adjusting them isnt easy. If you are riding somedays 1 up and some days 2 up or you are traveling off and on all year changing the weight of your luggage I would go air. I specifically use air because use an electric center stand on both bikes.

@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 2 года назад
There really is no way to shoot a video thats going to be specific to your riding style, weight either 1 or 2 up...its really just how "you" want it. I can say that at first I would air the bike all the way up, let the air out until im sure footed on the ground. That was my ride height. But after you have it for awhile youll get used to where it "feels right" you can just air it up and down while going down the road...my biggest thing was adding too much air while riding and then get to a stop sign and im tip toed lol so I learned to just set it and ride and stop playing with it..as I got more comfortable with the system I started playing with it some...but start there..either 1 or 2 up just air it all the way..let some out til your flat footed and ride there.

@sikbaggers 4 года назад
I took mine off as I have the fender extension that doesnt have a hole for the antenna ....but you can simply remove the bracket, zip tie the metal part of the antenna to the wiring harness and it wont move. It may take some time to get it lined up where the antenna sticks out straight...or get a hidden fairing antenna ...just make sure to get a powered one with a booster.

Greetings Steve- I’m getting close to ordering 2 questions Are the aluminum upgraded shocks worth the up charge ? Is the upgrade more performance or cosmetic? Also with the tank and pump mounted in the fender struts does that eliminate fender strut lights? Or does that just depend on how much fabbing I want to get into ? Than you in advance for your time and reply
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers Год назад
all cosmetic...and yeah depending on where your lights mount you may have to move them...but im not sure your bike and what lights you have so thats hard to answer fully.

Ah yes, Forgive my absent mind 2016 FLTRU Most similar, if not exact, rear end you were working on And from what I see I may have to fab up some sort of spacer plate or “doohickey”, to be technical, to get them to look right.😂 Thankyou for the reply on the alum vs steel . They may be of zero consequence performance wise but I may encounter a “shut up and take my money” moment. Stay safe, 2 down. 👍🏼

Hey LAlex...yes Im stil playing catch up on comments but I saw it..thanks man! As far as the air ride goes..I had a lot of good luck with the JNR kit at first...its now about 4 years old and has completely failed on me..it started failing after the second year. Not much help from them as far trying to figure out why it was failing me either. Sent me a new fill valve that didnt change anything and that was about it...that was last year..now I can barely get it to come on...so im in the process of switching it out for the Dirty like I installed on the RG here. No issues with it so far...but I wasnt willing to pay to replace the JNR with the same thing I have that failed so quickly.

@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 3 года назад
You can always adjust the air , if you are moving or not...If youwa not to let some air our or put some in just flip the switch..You can let some out at the light and then add some more aiur while you ride. I don't recommend dumping all the air out at the light and then trying to fill it while riding..the shocks ar ewnot designed to be rode with no air in them. You can lower it a little and then add air while grinding though yes

Steve my friend air ride suspension looks awesome. I just have one question what does it do to the geometry of the bike? I read a lot that lowering blocks throw off the geometry of the rear suspension. I’m just wondering what the air ride does to the belt tension? Thanks rsfm 😀
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 4 года назад
well the air ride is meant to be air up to ride height when riding. It will throw it off if you ride super low or even high. The optimal riding position of the bike is the bottom of the frame is parallel with the ground. That being said I dont ride that way. I ride slightly lower than stock height. But its nothing you cant handle in corners. It does change slightly but not like a huge difference. You get used to it after a few rides.

Hey Steve...so I’ve watched both of your air suspension install videos...this one and the 2014 street glide with the JNR system...question is ...if you would’ve had a choice of both systems at the same time (customer service being the same) which system would you go with? I went ahead and purchased the DirtyAir after watching this video but then saw your other video and you spoke the same way about the JNR system.
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 4 года назад
At the time of the JNR system I had no prior experience with either company. A friend of mine had JNR and said they were awesome and the service was great. I had heard of the 2 about equally the same but I guess having someone you know own the system it makes it easier to choose. The customer service is great with both places. Now that ive had the JNR system for awhile ive had a few hickups with it...its a great system however mine has really slowed down and JNR has tried to help me figure it out but to no avail..the fast up just isnt fast like it used to be and I cant figure it out...we have had the whole system out and put back in. I decided to try the dirty kit and while installing it everything made me believe it was a more robust system. We will see over time how it lasts. To be honest if I had to do it again I would go with the dirty again...I like the way the system is laid out and put together and the included instructions are much more clear and thought out than the JNR...as far as ride quality...I think they both equally produce the same ride quality.

I gotta couple questions. I installed this same kit,* Why don't you use the water trap/ separator in this kit?*Whenever I use my air ride button, I get a loud popping noise through my speakers?* Does that red wire with the inline fuse need to be used on the install?
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 4 года назад
Hey Chris I didnt receive a water trap separator with my kit. The inline fuse really does need to be used. Anything running directly to your batter needs an inline fuse. The popping noise your hearing has an easy fix. Coils (fill valves, dump valve, compressor relay) magnetize when being used and this causes feedback. Some audio systems, not all, pick it up as noise and some worse than others. First thing is to remove all frame grounds if you can...ground everything to the battery. If that doesn't cure it then put a diode across the positive and negative. Here are the diodes from amazon smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YYMG7D5 put the side with the stripe on it on the positive wires, the non striped side to the negative. The closer they are the dump/fill/relay the better they work.
@whitedawg60
@whitedawg60 4 года назад
Wow. That's totally different from what every motorcycle shop has told me. I was told to ground it to the frame. Do you recommend the water trap? I bought it from dirty air but I didn't see a lot of guys using them. Thanks for your reply.
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 4 года назад
You can ground it to the frame but if you're using an aftermarket audio system with rca cables this is usually where the issue comes in. That is what was told to me and that is what cured my popping issues along with many others....its a very common issue with any air ride. I dont use a trap. I've had jnr air ride on my sg for 3 years.. I live in illinois where its plenty humid. I've taken it apart a few times and never had water in it...so I've never worried about it

@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers Год назад
it will give extra height...however you need to understand how air ride works..if im riding 1 up I may only need 80psi to ride at my ride height...however if im 2 up I may need 120 to keep the same height. Keeping that in mind , also remember that air ride has a sweet spot for riding..to low and its bouncy, to high and it stiff. So there is a fine line where you can play around with the air before it starts effecting the ride.

@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 4 года назад
The pressure gauge shows the amount of air in the lines and shocks. The tank stays at 200 psi. Once you find your sweet spot look at the gauge. If it says 78 pounds then everytime you air up hit 78 pounds and you know that's where you ride.
