Front air shocks, instant-up kit, switch, and possibly a compressor.
If the existing rear air ride is an Arnott system and in good condition, you can re-use the compressor, rear shocks, rear control switch. If any other system, ie Legends, Tricky, etc, you can re-use the rear shocks and switch, but must replace the compressor.

Go to “Build your Own Kit” section under products and select your specific application

Yes, these systems do not require any other special parts to install.

No, our complete system comes with an instant-up kit.  This kit utilizes an air tank to store compressed air.  The front and rear air valves share this source of compressed air.

Yes, height adjustments can be made while riding.

Yes, dampening is achieved by an opposing air spring force on both the front and rear shocks.

No, in many cases you can use other compressors and valves.  Consult the factory with specific questions.

Yes, we can provide components to install front air ride and valves and re-use another brand of rear shocks.

AirFX USA, LLC warranties all of the products we manufacture to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for the lifetime of ownership.

AirFX will consider making custom shocks for a variety of different bikes or unique applications.

AirFX rear shocks are designed with double seals yielding many years of trouble free performance.  Eventually they will wear out, but can be rebuilt for a reasonable cost.  The front shocks are sealed and have a life expectancy of at least 30,000 miles.

• Black Hardcoat Anodized
• Show Polished Aluminum

• Shock travel is 4 inches.
• Pin to pin dimensions are 9.25”to 13.25” and 10” to 14”, depending on which shock you select.

Shock travel is 2 inches. (Stock is about 1.5”)

The shocks are designed with the largest bore possible and still fit under the stock bags

• The larger bore decreases the required pressure, softening the ride.
• Will fit under stock bags.  Some aftermarket bags may need to be adjusted (spaced) to clear the shocks.

• Yes, however, the suspension will be rigid all the way down.
• Best ride quality at about ½ travel.

Yes, can be adjusted while riding.

• Generally, the trapped air in the rod end of the shock provides adequate rebound without adding air pressure.
• The shock has a Schrader valve on the bottom.  Raise the bike to the desired ride height, vent the Schrader valve there.

• The trapped air in the rod end of the shock provides rebound control.  A Schrader valve is provided to add air pressure to firm up the ride.
• To adjust, lower the bike to the lowest setting.  Add pressure to the Schrader valve, raise to ride height and test.  Rebound pressures range from 0 to 50 PSI depending on the application.  More air pressure increases firmness.

Softer than stock, even when riding two up.

• Shock travel is 2 inches, (stock is about 1.5”)
• Optional 2.50” stroke is also available.

Softail chopper frames are setup with the 85-99 style shocks. Pivots on both ends.

Yes, you can purchase rear air ride only. If you decide to upgrade to front and rear air ride, you can at a later time.

Yes, we can provide components to install front air ride and valves and re-use another brand of rear shocks.

Occasionally, we see the rear shocks “stick” all the way down, then pop up.  This is caused by too much grease being applied during assembly.  Usually, this problem goes away after breaking in the shock.  If not, return to the factory to have the excess grease removed.

• The front shocks have 5 inches of total travel. 3” on Sport Bike applications.
• Typically they are ridden at ½ travel.

• The shock cartridge length limits the down travel of the shock
• The compressed length of the shock is factory set to match the wheel size and rake kit purchased.

Yes, the cartridge compressed length can be adjusted.  Consult the factory.

• No, the shock oil is eliminated.
• Wear surfaces are lubricated with grease (provided) during installation

Yes, we can provide components to install front air ride and valves and re-use another brand of rear shocks.
