cleaned ? this chromes are very dirty ( they don't show on the pictures ) but before they go to their place i'll clean one by one with special product for chromes.

Well, if you see how mine looks, you will understand. Mine is al milky and can't get them clean with metal polish or other products... (anodized aluminium), that's why I asked, maybe you had a trick for me :-)

It looks good man. I suggest copy/ pasting the BBC code from a select few pictures to give more people an idea of what's going on here. You have a very interesting build that isnt generating much discussion because you aren't hosting pictures in the thread.







EDIT: I agree with Sam, keep it the OEM green. What a beautiful color. Very pleasing to the eye!

Generic safety valves are fine: http://bagriders.com/modlab/products/SAFETY-VALVE.html

Lovely color. I hope you keep it that shade of green.

Yes, i will keep it green with dark brown interior. The interior is already done but no pics yet.

The exterior will be dark green, because i like the color it's classic, and also matches with the front windshield, it has a green lane on the top from factory

Flickr. 1TB of storage free, and I've never managed to hit a bandwidth cap. I also serve photos off my Dropbox from time to time.

1. The Switchspeed controller also allows for fill/exhaust rate control via fluttering the valves. Some people like this feature, but I think it's better handled by adding SMC flow controls inline on the bag lines. It is a nice remote, though.

E-Level, on the other hand, is completely awesome. Rather than you having to adjust your ride height by pressing buttons and watching gauges, it gives you ride height presets based on sensors you install on your suspension. It's what I run on my car, and I would never do air ride any other way now that I've used an e-Level system. It's absolutely superb.

2. The safety valve opens at a set pressure such that if your compressors fail to shut down when they're supposed to, you don't over-fill your tank and damage any equipment. A safety valve is a requirement for safe operation of air ride, and it's astonishing to me how many kits fail to include one.

3. If it's the tank I'm thinking of (i.e. the one in their picture), it'll say it's 5 gallons, but it is not. They claim the "industry labeled size" is 5 gallons, whatever the fuck that means. See also: http://bagriders.com/modlab/products...LESS-TANK.html

Thanks for the info!! Here are some pictures of the project till now:

About the safety valve can you advice me a good one ?

I went with level 4 as I wanted elevel.

As I said installation was very straight forward and shouldn't be a problem for you, I am a complete beginner also. If you pm me your email ill send you through the pictures I took, not that it was many though but it will give you an idea of how they sit without the extra mods.

Waiting for the pics my friend

How much does it cost you to build the bikes. I'd be interested in a bike if you were willing to build one. Let me know?

First check out on Google Map where i live ( Madeira Island ) and tell me if you're still interested to make you a bike from here
