Vn 1500 Air Shocking Balancing - Page 2

Great job. One question for the mechanics in the crowd: There are no problems with swapping the shocks right to left and left to right? I love the idea.

I haven't found the left shock difficult to get to whilst on the side stand - aside from having to remove the 10mm headed bolts from the seat. (Thanks Kawasaki!! NOT!).

As for a PITA balancing left and right, I have no problemo with a lossless air pump. In fact, I've noticed a full stroke of the pump = 2 pounds of air.

Nonetheless, this mod is one I have on my wish/to-do list.

I purchased a fox air pump on Amazon for 24.00 that is awesome. No loss of air and it keeps both on even scale. Love this idea though.

Anyone know what other bikes had a similar kit fitted,ive tried the Aspencade front forks,no joy finding a supplier who has one.

IDIOT ALERT. I should have gone here first. I can get all the bits local for about £12=$16
