Kewl Metal Bleed Feed Air Ride System

Looks interesting. I may have to order one for my VTX in the near future.

I'm in the process of building my own system for my "slammer" I/S, based on an '83 GL1100A compressor/drier/air piping, an NOS purge valve for the "bleed" side and a Stewart-Warner HDX-series electrical air-pressure gauge. Shocks are Progressive 416s; obtained from a VRCC member. These are now on the bike, and I'm plumbing the air lines next. The compressor/drier assembly will mount in the fairing and I'm going to use the rubber compressor/drier enclosure from an '84 GL1100A to hold everything in one nice little package.

The air pressure gauge and a matching coolant-temp gauge will be mounted in the radiator pods, and a modified Big Bike Parts master cylinder switch housing will provide controls for fill/vent and compressor actuation, in addition to an accent lighting circuit.

Pics as the installation progresses. I was lucky to have most of the stuff I needed for this on-hand, and only needed to buy the shocks, an air-line adapter, a few fittings, the gauges and the purge solenoid.
