Air shocks

[Desert Spyder]

A buddy of mine (a PE owner) spotted a Spyder at a San Bernardino dealership that had air shocks on it. The switch was somewhere on the dash. This sounds like a Lamontster upgrade. Does this sound like a good idea. No offense Lamont.

Actually, you're right. Lamont had air shocks (at least on the rear) about a year ago. I don't remember what happened exactly but they (it) failed.

My buddy stated all 3 shocks were in on the action. Not sure if I'm crazy about this idea.

On a side note, you Ryders who tow a trailer, how is the braking action?

Is the sensor in the seat activated?

The seat switch is not activated by the trailer being towed. You must have weight on the rear seat (35+ pounds) to activate it.

As far as how the brakes work while pulling the trailer, I think they work just fine. The added weight of the trailer under braking was the fix for my squeaking brake pads. Seems the extra effort on the system is just enough to keep the pads cleaned off properly.
