Re: rear air suspension compresser
I added a compressor some years ago and it has worked well. You can adjust your air pressure on the fly for load and road conditions.

Re: rear air suspension compresser
I used this compressor.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/THOMAS-115ADC56 ... 25a7925558" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I only paid about $12 each for them several years ago. I used Parker quick connects and installed a check valve and in line regulator.
The adjustment are made using a micro 3 way switch installed in the headset cover that activates a 2 position 4 way valve.
I have a 1" air gauge mounted where the rear air fill valve used to be. I left all the original connections so if I had a failure, I could reconnect OE connections by removing the right fairing.

Re: rear air suspension compresser
Get progressive spring shocks & forget about air adjustments etc.
You won't believe the improvement in ride over the stock shocks

Re: rear air suspension compresser
Recall that his original question was if anyone had installed a rear air suspension compressor? Not if it was more expensive or if it was the best option or what someones opinion was. I answered his question.

Re: rear air suspension compresser
I'm sure the original question was answered but this IS an opinion section.
