Air pressure in forks

[clark54]

Anyone tried one of these? Like the idea, but would like to hear some pros-cons of doing this rather than a re-valve and re spring.

Yup, I have the airpro.. works awesome... pump up for the snow depending on setup. I have a ktm500 and even on dirt it is way too soft compared to a SX type set up... you pump in air in 5-10 lb increments. Super easy to install too.

air time ?

I like this idea, I have unmarked rusty fork springs taking up space

, think I will air up the KTM

Maybe it's just my tablet, but all that shows up is their logo and description. I'd email them about mispelling "accessories" but since they didn't use widely compatible coding, guess they are on their own. Ha. Hard to be impressed, so far. Ha.

sorry about the confusion... we completely re designed our website a few weeks ago and there might have been some down time when the dns records were being updated. the spelling error is also fixed

What do you mean ruskies can hack anything?

bad political joke about russian hacking and creating leaks.

UP side is i installed an air setup on my YZ250 spare bike, 15 lbs air and they feel real stiff, check fitting with soap..........no leaks, I am liking it.

Has anyone have some on snow experience on these? Just checked and the price is lower now. I just reassembled my front end and waiting on snow base to build up a little.

We used to do this way back in the day when we couldn't get/afford anything. $2 for 2 threaded air fittings and drill/tap the cap and air it up

Their setup is extra nice but a footing in each leg cap does the same thing

I have a few days on mine. Hard pack, whooped out single track and powder. Seems to work as advertised. Currently running 15psi. Used about 60% of the stroke. I like it.
