Just ordered a pair of progressive 416's.  Any recommendations for where to locate the air fill connection on an interstate?  Thanks.

Chauffeur ,no intrusive procedures on my valk. just pass the hoses down under the upper frame and meet on the battery cover beneath the seat. but the seat is not the same in the I/S ? Undecided . you could install the T valve on one of the shocks and the tube underneath to the other side. also both tubes to a centered gauge and valve or to an inflator and switch. have fun ,enjoy the ride  cooldude

I bought a stainless bracket from the local hardware store, bent it to shape and pop riveted it to the rear part of the battery tray under the seat. I keep an electronic tyre pressure gauge and a small high pressure racing bicycle tyre pump under there too to top it up when I am two up. I can do a photo tomorrow if you want.

I'd really appreciate a photo if you can.  No rush though, the shocks are not expected to ship until 9/10. 

BTW - got em for $277 with free shipping.

I'm in the market for shocks for my Interstate. If you don't mind who are you buying your shocks from?       Smiley

Thanks for the photo.  It looks to be an ideal installation and easy to duplicate.

Thanks for the pic, Colin.  I've got to do something soon - just not sure what.
