Rear shock zirk conversion

[Scooter Jim]

Can someone tell me the easiest way to convert my rear shock to a zerk fitting like the standards come from the factory. I am through fighting this POS Class controller. Thanks.

The easiest way is to obtain the hose and Shrader valve off a Standard.

The front shocks could be converted easily the same way?

[Prairiehammer]

Yes, although the access to the front fork air hose is more difficult.

Thanks much for the help. Will try to find a hose and valve off a standard.

Here is a complete front fork air assembly for just $7.50 plus shipping.

In your case, remove the hose that connected to the compressor and install the shorter hose with the Schrader valve onto the existing fork air collar.
