[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 187593, member: 1650"] You are correct in being careful with adding air. I have seen apes take a bike to a filling station and use the hose. you can blow past the seals at about 70 lbs. 3-4 make a pretty big difference. I know "bruce" must know EVERYTHING. I may have been pumping them up before he was born (1974). Back when we had some pretty wimpy seals air conversion kits were the rage. Add schrader valves, throw away the springs. Guys you never heard of like Brad Lackey and John Desoto were winning races here and abroad with bikes which were springless on both ends. Maybe you have heard there are air forks back in vogue. Anyway, dont let the fact you spent a fair some with someone keep you from doing some free experimenting. My advice is get a reliable air source to tune with. Small tank, good gauge, and the way you add air is to pump up the tank to the amount you want to add to your forks (one of those compressors that goes into the power point on your cage will work). then transfer air to the forks. test your results. Never under emphasize the looks angle. Wait, 'bruce' said not to. (what was that mommie said about staying away from the water, dont climb trees, stay away from girls, and by ALL MEANS, don't ever get on a motorcycle.) Anyway, enjoy it, you spent enough. [/QUOTE]
