Got AIR??

[Mad Matt]

Well I have all the pieces...almost. Hopefully next week I will have a chance to try and stuff all this into my spyder. There is a huge amount of space above the inner rear fender, up on the right side. That is where the pump and valves will go. I am having a bracket made for that. The shock ends still need to be custom fit for the spyder.....but I can't wait to get this in and hooked up!

Yea but I want mine on front. :doorag: :spyder:

Not an expert by any means, but wont that change the geometry on the front end and make the tires wear and cause other problems like that ?

What it will do is allow you to adjust ride height but more important it will give you better rebound and dampening. That's why I really want mine for the front as I think this will have a much greater effect on handling.

I've had the Kewlmetal air ride on my last three bikes and love it. If they can get the valving issues worked out on the front I'll be all over that. The suspension on the Spyder is lacking but so is just about every stock motorcycle.

Lamont,

I think lowering the rear will help cornering and certainly looks. I know the ride quality will be better just because the air ride always is. First the rear, then I will start thinking about the front. Like you said, the valving for the front will be challenging. Maybe I will do the front air ride along with the extended billet A Arm kit!!!
