[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 161723, member: 3756"] Correct, there is no reason it wouldn't work. There are thousands of examples of it working on other bikes and the only thing different about a wing is minor fitting issues like how you choose to mod the lower shock mount to fit in the swingarm or how you choose to shorten the kickstand. Should for the most part be very straightforward. Dont go cheap on a small pump is the biggest suggestion I can make. The honda pump is too slow. Some people add an air tank to the mix so they can air up even faster than a pump allows, not necessary, but better than being too slow. I bought the 98 pump which the Harley guys recommended. My replacement shocks are still holding air from months ago when I first received them, first set had a slow leak. Test them overnight or longer to make sure they hold air before putting them on and before modding the shock mounts. I had to put the first set in a bathtub while aired up to see where my leak was coming from. [/QUOTE]
