No. It's set to where you can ride all the way up, down or anywhere in between. However, riding all the way up or down is a bit stiff. You're supposed to keep it somewhere in between for maximum comfort. It's also set up this way in case the system ever fails, you can still ride the bike. The air ride doesn't seem to add too much more comfort to the ride, but it adds a whole other level of look to the bike.

I'm sure you'll fit in nicely with the local latino gang.

A quick Google/YouTube search will sort out your stereotypical misinformation.

What’s the actual point of it though?

so his nuts don't hit the ground

Style and comfort. Not sure why that's so difficult to understand.

Jesus gramps I’m not having a go. Chill your beans.

Can't blame him. He makes an endless choice of completely inexplicable choices in his life and finds people questioning whatever he does on a daily basis. At this point, his response is more of a pavlov reaction than anything else.

Having said that, I will have a go at him and say that, without a doubt, in all of the motorcycle related things I've seen, this easily ranks in the top 2 of most ridiculous things.
Oh wait, next thing you'll see is YGP explaining this is a holeshot device :olo:

I like how those clowns have wired the compressor to the main 12v loop meaning it comes on when the lights flash.

Also it’s nothing to do with the ride, it’s just about image.

Meh I dunno, it's definitely not my thing but I'm just poking fun at him. It's a motorbike, literally a thing meant for fun. If he likes it that's all that matters. I don't care to put limits on customizing your ride, if anything i'm a little jealous I don't have that kind of extra cash lying around to throw on my bike all willy nilly. I still think the bike looks like ass right now, I'm hoping to see the final product to see if it sways my opinion of the darth vader/Bender mounted head on the handle bars.

You thought that was salty? It was really just a matter of fact response. Wasn't meant to rustle your jimmies.

Top 2 most ridiculous things? LOL. You must not get out much.

BTW, I've already told you what it's for. I don't intend to make something up to satisfy your ignorance, because I truly don't care if you understand or like it. In the grand scheme of things you don't matter. I'm enjoying what I'm doing and having fun doing it. And that's all that counts in my book.

It's not your thing and doesn't have to be. There are a lot of future changes coming. However, the front fairing isn't one of them. So your opinion probably won't change.

Upcoming changes in the order I plan on doing them.
1. 14" KST Pathfinder handle bars.
2. New exhaust system, intake and CPU tuner.
3. 23" front wheel and fender. Still trying to decide if I want to do a fat front tire.
4. Stretched rear fender and bags.
5. Bag lids with molded speaker openings and highway bar mounted speaker pods.
6. (12) to (14) speaker audio system.
7. Somewhere along the way I might do the front air ride suspension as well as the pneumatic center stand.

Oh so that must be why you keep posting dumb shit here for validation. I see.

But hey, whatever, you do you and enjoy your geriatric assistance mods and I'll stick to carving corners on a real bike.

Validation? :olo:

Like I'm seeking or expecting approval from anyone here. I post here for fun, largely because it irritates people like you. But hey, this isn't a competition. You can have your bike and I'll have mine. All riders are different. As long as you're in the wind is what I say.
