    I keep changing directions on my build (72 skylark). I just installed air ride on my 2003 harley v-rod and its awesome! I have always wanted air ride on my classic but it's big $$ for a kit. Anyone gone to air ride for a reasonable price? Any suggestions?

    Its a great system, you may also switch to air assist brakes too via air master mastercylinder

    but truthfull,y For about same price as fulley optioned shockwaves/tank you can go with Jride

    I pieced mine together on my 66 special. Go to suicidedoors.com. They are very well priced and you can build your own system that is ten times better than any kit. I used firestone bags, 3/8 air line, 8 valves, 5 gallon tank, made my own spring cups and used a viar compressor. Also most kits won't allow you to lay frame.

    also weather you go ridetech, JRE or any coil over
    look into a coil over extender bracket, UMI and Global west have it
    lets you run a longer then normal shock to regain the suspension travel you loose from ditching the tradtional coil spring/shock setup
