2 to 1 air shock balancing

Aifwikir · 10-04-2009

Okay, I have a "Progressive Suspension Air Fork Balance" kit on the way for my 1500. Is this a direct install or will I have to get any other pieces/parts?

Check it out Air Shock Balance with Progressive AFB1 Kit

I just balanced my 1500 Classic and added a gauge so that there's an easy way to check the shock pressure. The AFB1 kit is an easy install (has some hokey fittings and hose) but adding the gauge set-up requires some more hardware. Check out Gadgets Site for the parts and instructions on how to do it. Cost me about $30 (includes shipping) and I already had the hard line to replace the AFB's soft line. Real easy to check pressure now.

The only thing you need is the tool to remove the valve stem from each shock and I would recommend plastic tape or heavier to protect the little clear hose that connects both chambers.

Depending on the bike, you may have to remove more than just the seat to install the barrels.
