very nice, who is the manufacturer? hows the wake?

well most tank bags have mags in them now. i was going to mount metal plates to the underside of the tank cover, directly under the bag. that way i can still just "pull" the bag off and take it with me.
-
the compression fittings are 1/4 to 1/8, i got those at ace hardware. the 1/4 is at the hose end, where the air line is going into. but they didnt have the 1/8 schrader valve fitting. i found those at parker supply. they were in a goodyear center. they have all kinds of hydraulic stuff. since they didnt have a female schrader, i used a coupling between them. with loctite, about 20.00. if you have a hard time finding the pieces let me know, ill pick them up and you can paypal me.

i was thinking about a magnetic tank bag. i was going to mount three plates of metal to the underside of my false tank cover. but then, got to thinking, i remounted the tci to the air box. will the magnets mess with it? any thoughts? has anyone tried this?

White guages and carbon fiber styling! 83vr

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Glossy-Black-Carbon-Fiber-Sheets-Vinyl-Decal-p/ac-carbon-sheet-black.htm link to carbon fiber. its not real easy to work with, but it can be heated and stretched. -
here some pics after some of my latest nightmares (taillight issues, class). i used white gauge overlays and sheets of carbon fiber for a cool custom look!
-
i had enough. decided to remove class. controller kept showing e4, no matter how many time i checked and resolder joints. no matter how many times i cleaned connections and checked wiring. no matter how many times i yelled at it. it just is junk. so off to the hardware stores i went! first, removed class compressor at 2 air line bolts. unhooked wiring, and junked it. then cut off old fittings. tapered air hose about 1/2 inch to get compression fittings on easier. cut off taper for clean look. used locktite 545 (hydraulic) to assemble fittings. did for both sides. i wasnt sure which was for which, so i put air in sloooowly. front of bike jumped into air and nearly scared me to death! set at 15psi. next rear( i only know its rear because of previous near-death experience). set at 52psi. im 220lbs. price of parts: $17.00 time took: 2 hrs(newbie, take it easy people) being able to cancel fitting for straight-jacket: priceless.
