Just finished installing an Instant Up Rear Suspension from Tricky Air. Great people to work with, excellent customer service!
I went with a somewhat unique bottle set up, due to limited space, using a 48 ci Paintball tank mounted under the front of the gas tank. I requested an upgrade from their standard compressor to a Viar 275C, which they swapped out at no extra charge. Apart from adding the bottle, I added a separate cutoff switch for the compressor, just for safety and peace of mind, and a 20 amp fuse. With this combination, I can fill the bottle, shut off the compressor, and lift it twice. If I fill the bottle, leave the compressor on, about halfway through the second lift, the compressor kicks back on again. I can also lift the bike while sitting on it or adjust while riding.
2 Solenoids are used to control the up/down via 3 position rocker switch. There is also a pressure sensor switch that turns the compressor on at 150 psi and off at 180.
This mod dropped the bike 4.25 inches, and is able to lift it a little higher than stock height.
The cost was between $1000 - $1100 shipped, including the bottle, which was around $55 from the local paintball supply shop.
Definitely a smoother/softer ride, and completely changes the appearance. It's like having a totally different bike. Hopefully I’ll get to take some nicer pics of the bike Monday after it’s broken in and cleaned back up.
Thanks to Smokin Tyre Garage, Kbuskill, and everyone else on here that I gleaned information from.
