I was wondering about the belt tension with all of this up/down going on.  Where do you guys set up the tension for the belt?  When I ride completely aired down or close the belt (I think) vibrates.  When I bring it all the way up it is rough.  I am generally speaking as my system is made by arnott.

I set my belt tension in the position/height that I ride. I don't ride with the bike aired down with my extended bags. The Arnott system only has 3" of travel so I'd set the belt tension with the shock compressed 1" from full.

The schrader is prolly enuf with a hand pump ... but .. u better make sure u have a tight system as these tend to leak down and would certainly be hard to keep up with hand pump only , not to mention u might wanna vary pressure at times .. Jus sayin ,, wassup Mike .. u get pics of air setup and tour pack rack I sent yall ??

Yes I did, you've been busy!  :2vrolijk_21:

Finally got around to installing my Corvette Shocks, I was running the Legendary LoPro 12 inch, had a shock blow and they no longer have them so Legendary sent me replacement 14 inch shocks, they really sucked. So replaced them with the Corvette Shocks and all I can say is the ride is so much better than legendary, I would recommend these to anyone

I have a set going on a bike where I'm using a small tank that mounts on the bag rail to hold air so it will air up faster. It's a nice addition.

Is anyone using the push to connect air fittings on the monroe shocks? I cant seem to find any that fit the Shocks.
