[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 157408, member: 3756"] If anyone else wants to try a pair of these shocks I just found a heck of a deal. $36 a pair and free shipping at jet.com if you use coupon code f444cb3. [url=https://jet.com/Monroe-MA785-Max-Air-Air-Shock-Absorber/627575429fb64b06bda5301f76f7be6f]https://jet.com/Monroe-MA785-Max-Air-Ai ... 1f76f7be6f[/url] This code expires 9/1 so just a couple days left on this promotional sale. I received the first set from them already and just bought another set there today when I found that coupon just to have a backup pair since it was such a deal. And just fyi I haven't gotten mine installed yet because I'm still waiting on the last couple parts, I have all the big stuff shocks and compressor, air guage, most of the connectors, relay, inline fuse, but am waiting on the last two little connectors to connect it all. (Received one wrong part and ordered one wrong so waiting on the next shipment.) I also need a new side stand to cut shorter if anyone has a spare. Mine has already been cut and welded to fit the current 11" shocks I'm running. I would rather cut a new one than waste this custom welded one just to take another 1.5" out. I ended up buying both a VIAIR 98 air compressor that the harley guys like to use, and picked up a stock gl1100 air compressor so I can compare the two. These might actually work with the stock compressor, so I wanted to try so I can let you know how that would work out. Can anyone tell me what the max pressure is you can get out of the stock gl1100 air compressor? The gauge it came with shows 100lbs but that doesn't tell me if the compressor will actually go that high. Also what size or type fitting is on it, it doesn't fit the 1/4" npt fitting I bought for the viair setup. If nobody knows I'll try a hardware store and see if they can tell. It would also be nice to know how many seconds it takes the stock pump to reach full pressure. If it's too slow I may not bother buying an adapter to test it. It's significantly smaller than the viair pump so just going off looks alone I'm guessing it would be much slower. [/QUOTE]
