Also be aware of the fact that if you air the bag to 60 lbs. (static pressure, meaning no one on the bike) and you ride double the air pressure will increase to around 90 lbs. setting still, And may go higher when the bike leans or you hit bumps...
I did away with my automatic air ride system...I can change my air ride pressures setting on the seat to suite my riding conditions with the "hard/soft rocker switch...
