I swapped the Viair 92C out for the 98C and man what a difference. Bike raises up way faster especially with a fat bottom girl on the back. Get the bigger one if ya can...

 

Where did you mount it?

I mounted it directly to the frame that the radio rides in. I Had my 93C in the same spot mounted vertically but the 98C I put in horizontally. The 98C actually took up less space and was easier to mount. I also added a relay to send power to the new compressor instead of running it all through the switch. I like it a lot more now.

 

Has anyone used the Dirty Air system? I just ordered it. $400 for everything.

It's the exact same thing as the DIY set up with energy suspension bushing......you can piece it together cheaper (which I'm sure everyone is going to tell you) but fuck it there is something to be said about convenience and just opening a box with all the right shit in it

There's a lot of places selling these kits now, hell one of "the big guys" is selling the same damn kit for $900

I've got all the pieces still brand new and decided not to do the install (I went with JRI instead). I need to start a sell thread!

It really isn't a bad setup for the money and I'm sure you'll be able to sell it to someone here

 

LoL

Well for 2 weeks I've been thinking about doing this mod, I've read this ENTIRE thread 4 times, every post....I just placed my order for all the parts. I changed a few part numbers saving a few bucks here and there. I called and scoured the internet and no one had gabriels. O'Reillys had Monroe in stock and was right around the corner from my house so if I had a warranty issue I could go right back. Picked the shocks up today and hopefully everything will be delivered by the end of the week. Thank you to everyone who has provided information regarding their order list and part numbers. I water tested shocks all day and they are currently holding at 110psi. I'll check them tomorrow. I also plan to weld the eyelids over the crappy spot weld on the shocks. Thanks again.

 

I still get the oohs and aahhs when I pull in somewhere and air down. For the price of this mod its not that bad at all.

 

Can any possibly PM me the fitting sizes or part numbers for the Monroe 785's?

 

I pulled my set up off my bike and will be selling it. I had one shock that blew, on a trip (I think it was suspect when new). I've got a new set of Monroes, but will include the remaining good shock as well. Pictures and ad in classifieds, soon.

 

So does anyone's right swing arm hit the pipes with only 60psi? These are stock pipes with big city thunder baffles in them.

 

This happens to certain exhaust. Since you already have the dent, you're good to go. Some guys pre-dented their exhaust.

^^^^^what he said^^^^^ when I had my V&H ovals on the bike they would hit. I changed to a set of klockwerks rounds and they no hit. PS I didn't change them cuz they hit I just wanted a different look and sound

 

I dented under the shock mount based off info I read here but didn't think I would have to dent so far up by the swing arm. That area seems visible but then again my bags aren't on.

 

Try to loosen the mounting bolt on muffler to saddlebag brace and see if you can gain some clearance and tighten back up

I have gathered the parts to do this mod and will begin the install this weekend. this might be a stupid question, but where is the air inlet on the Viair 98c compressor? there is a solid plate below the cylinder. all compressors I have ever dealt with have had a pretty evident inlet with filter.

 

Lmao!! Good question I don't see one either

Not sure on the smaller compressor. The round piece is the air filter and intake on my 380c compressor.

 

The 92c i use has a small plastic inlet filter on the front

 

Thanks guys, the 98c is still a mystery. Viair site doesnt even list a filter for the 97/98series. i took front cover off, just crank case, no filter there. it does look like ther is an inlet valve on the bottom of the piston so it must pull intake air from this area. I have no idea how this works but many are using this compressor with good luck, so i'll leave well enough alone.

 

Ok there is a lot going on here can I get a parts list and where to find or a thread # with it.

Thanks

 

Just getting around to chiming back in. Man what an improvement. Once I found the right psi for me pure smoothness.

Great mod...

 

Does anybody who uses the monroes use a lowering block as well? I'm curious if the tire rubs when there's no air in the system. I had a set of 1" blocks on before I did the monroes so I already have a set to use but I'm concerned about rubbing in case there's a failure while riding.

 

I'm using a lowering kit with mine. I've got an aftermarket fender, so I'm not sure how to compare it.

 

How much clearance do you have or think you may have with that fender? Is it ridable if there's no air? Like I said I'm worried about a possible failure on the road. I want to be able to at least ride it out of harms way sorta speak and not damage the fender or tire

 

Never tried to ride it aired out. My swing arm almost touches the frame.

 

All you can do is put it on & try it without air. My Gabreils rub with 140/90/16's but not a 150/80/16 or the stock tire. I would say with a stock tire you won't rub.
