Air Shock Balance Kits - for sale

**jestephens** · 02-02-2011, 06:24 PM

I hope you guys don't mind that I put together a kit to balance our air shocks . . . ;)

After a lot of looking around, I finally found the pieces I wanted to use and that were also modifiable to fit our air shock set up.

I am selling a complete kit to balance your shocks with one air input.

Much like the kits many of us have seen and used, these fittings thread onto the existing Schrader valves. These kits are easily modifiable for those of you wanting to add a guage or relocate the input. - Quick connect tube fittings make installation or removal a snap.

Included in the kit is 2 banjo fittings* (1 right side, 1 left side), a Schrader valve, and 24" of 1/8"OD tubing.

*modified to include internal threads that mate to existing Schrader fittings.

Right side installed:

Left side installed:

The installed kit fits easily under the driver seat with no interference.

I’d like to ask $25 USD shipped within the contiguous 48.

Other destinations, $25 USD + actual shipping.
PayPal accepted and preferred.

Lots of Kits available NOW

Can I get your help?

Thanks!

Wow, thanks everybody for the support!

I'll continue to ship these while supplies last, but rest assured, I'll be getting new supplies!

Once you have your kit, I would appreciate some feed back. I want to make sure you like how these look and work. If anything is not to satisfaction, let me make it right.

And please share if you've done a custom installation!

Thanks
- Jay

id be interested in a set. also, how is everyone checking pressure in the shocks without losing all the air? i have been putting off checking it and doing this mod cause i dont really understand how to check the pressure. i know you need a zero air loss gauge but have not found one. can i use my compressor and set the pressure gauge low so as not to bust the bladders in the shocks?

I wouldn't get a compressor anywhere near one of these shocks. The bladders are very small. It only takes a few strokes with a hand pump to fully inflate them.

You need a zero-loss pump, which includes a gauge. I bought one from a Harley Davidson dealer, but you can usually find them on eBay for a lot less. Progressive makes a real good one.

Here's an example of what you need to look for:
