AF Kustoms Air Ride Center Stand Switch Install Harley

[@silveradosaga8595]

I just got this switch wiring instructions are not clear but your video was straight forward I got it wired up quick.. thank you....

[@sikbaggers]

Glad you got it lined out! Love that switch!

[@CrusadersRC]

Great video especially the wiring section…….really helped. I’d like to add one thing after my install….. The tank sits on the tray and frame very tightly . if you’re going to add the air ride safety valve to the switch assembly be very careful that you do not pinch that air line between the tank and frame! You’ll be able to tell because when you put in the back tank bolts, the holes will not align properly. The tank will be a little offset to the left.

[@sikbaggers]

Glad to help!

[@jamesgrillo1653]

A good pair of side cutters/wire cutters will cut that plastic wire tunnel easily. Very clean install and switch setup 👍💪

[@hammmernnails1504]

Hey Steve- Just wanted to tell you thanks Love the detail & explanations. You made fast up air install easy. Thanks again Mitch

You are welcome

[@davidchamberlin9273]

Great video, Steve! I'll be ordering one Monday to install with my dirty air fast up front and rear system that I ordered. Thanks, Steve!!

[@sikbaggers]

Thats awesome David..youll love it..,one of the best investments I made for both bikes with air..we will be installing one on the sooftail too as soon as we get the air on it.

[@AD-JD]

Any reviews for the front end ?

[@davidchamberlin9273]

@@AD-JD I just received my kit haven't installed it yet. But through my research everything I've read and heard been pretty positive some naysayers out there but for the most part been good. So I am going for it if I get it on in the weather gets better here in Michigan I will post a review for you

[@calvinmckinney9432]

It was helpful I'm glad I got to watch it cuz he gave me some real good hands to watch on my bike thank you

[@sikbaggers]

Glad it helped

[@johnnykosek1211]

I ordered a chrome double switch and love the look. I'm having a lot of work done on the bike, and my builder thinks we may need a relay because he feels the wires aren't thick enough. Any thoughts or problems since installing? Anyone else have this setup?

[@sikbaggers]

I've had it on my sg for over 3 years now with no issues and no relays...added another one on my rg build...same...no issues

[@kevinthompson3776]

Wow Steve! That looks really clean. And you make it look so easy to do. WP lookin good! Thanks!

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you Kevin...Love that switch from the SG and now the black version on the WP

[@jimvasilopoulos3189]

Steve...howcome you went with progressive up front instead of dirty air boss?? Thanks!

[@8822fitzy]

Keep the videos coming man!

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you sir! Much more to come!

[@sherbs58]

Enjoy your videos and I don't even have a bike

[@waymorhd]

What air system and center stand is that ? Thanks for the video.

[@911Getsome]

Hey steve ..... what center stand would you recommend if I'm using the legends air ride with compressor mount being under bike ? Will the compressor mount conflict with the center stand install ? Thanks in advance ! Great video !!

[@sikbaggers]

i have never installed that air ride but iver seen it before..honestly not sure what stand would work with that..I would call MRI and ask them..theirs might work

[@TAT2D-SQRL]

Steve, Do you think Charles (from Harley Davidson) would personally approve of that cut in the wire harness tray ? ROFLMFA ................... Seriously another great video and AFK customs switches are well worth the money and awesome custom service and support unlike Charles at HD

[@sikbaggers]

Yeah Charles can kiss my ass lol Thanks for checking it out bro

[@scottwolinski832]

I was wondering how to hook up the switch that came with my kit when i hook it up it doesn't work but when i touch the wires to a hot and ground they work but not on a 6 prong switch

[@bostic84]

Great video, very helpful… keep it up!!! Thanks

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you bobby!

[@joehaacke8679]

Does the stand interfere with the biker bar ?

[@sikbaggers]

Thanks for checking it out Joe! no the biker bar should be installed more forward of where this stand is and even with my SOB stands I leave the stand down with the bike air upped. So the center stand should never come into play when using a biker bar.

[@craiglankenau4692]

May I ask why you went Dirty air for suspension and southern Oregon for stand

[@sikbaggers]

Yes sir...I started with JNR air on my SG, still running it actually...very nice set up..I got the dirty air this time to try something different and to be honest for the price id buy the Dirty again...just seems better built to me. The ride is about the same I would say though. As far as the center stand. Once again just getting the SOB on the street glide and I love it. no issues and built like a tank. Ive drug mine 3 times, I know it was my stupidity and I forgot...BUT its never bent or had any issues with it at all...so I stuck with that same on the this RG build.

[@craiglankenau4692]

Steven Housden thanks

[@dominicmoya2036]

Hey Steve,so does the stock kickstand come off when you install the center stand?

[@sikbaggers]

Never take your kickstand off. You cannot always find a nice level place to park or even solid ground. Gravel, soft grass...always use your kickstand.

[@billindelicato3068]

What dixxon were you wearing in this video???

[@sikbaggers]

zIts called the 1903...it was a limited release a few years ago. Dedicated to the first Harley made in 1903...I think there are still some floating around on eBay but just random sizes

[@pmdinaz]

secret squirrel comment had me gigglin like i was a kid again lol lookin good! I like that seat in 'form' it awesome looking. I just wonder how good it feels on the backside after about a 800 mile day ha ha ha.

[@sikbaggers]

thank you!...Yeah ill find out soon hopefully on the seat...I may need to invest in the ole' man driver backrest...my back aint so good anymore even standing straight so we will see lol

[@515mustang8]

Any recommendations on a center stand and a rear air ride system? Great videos always

[@sikbaggers]

Yes...specially if you plan on running dual exhaust..please check my video here that covers what you need to know about it...I use Dirty air and SOB center stands. Which I also have complete install videos on both of those products. But start here at the FAQ's Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4DEYYyQbaxjY9E

[@jamesgrillo1653]

Anyone can chime in, but how is that dirty air ride? I've been looking at jnr air ride also. Want some real world input. Thanks for the video!

[@juliomor3nabagger510]

Hey James, I recently installed the dirty air rear system on my 2019 SGS after watching Steve’s video. The install believe it or not was fairly easy, make sure you jack the bike up otherwise the bike is going to bottom out when you remove the first bolt from the suspension (rookie mistake on my part -life lesson) . I originally installed the system without the fast up air tank and a couple of days later ended up ordering it because I felt it just took too long for me to air up (15-20 seconds) . Adding the fast up air tank was just as easy and along with Steve’s video plus the instructions that dirty air provides in was all simple . As long as you have some common knowledge of wiring and just simple tool knowledge you would be ok if you’re doing the job yourself. As far as the ride, I think it’s a soft and comfortable ride, here in NYC we don’t have the best roads so I end up bottoming out more than I’d like to depending on how much pressure I’m sitting on. When I’m riding alone I keep it around 78-83 psi , if I’m with the wife I ride around 100psi. I also suggest the digital air pressure gauge which works great but looks awesome as well once installed. So the ride feels very soft I think , if you’re a cruiser you will find it very comfortable. For me I’m a cruiser but I also like to dip and take turns deep (just cause I used to ride a jap so it’s bad fun habit I guess ) and I find that when I do those things there’s a lot of bounce on the tail end. So the suspension is not as stiff as the stock suspension, there’s a lot more bounce and recoil if that makes any sense to you. Besides that it’s a great attention getter when you pull up and let the air out . I say go for it . Sorry I don’t have any details on the JNR .

[@Thunder3434]

Another great video, I know were aren't supposed to ask but do you have an idea what you all in budget is with the air ride and center stand?

[@sikbaggers]

thank you....id say about 15 to 1600 for the dirty kit with difital gauge and bracket and the SOB center stand

[@Thunder3434]

SIK Baggers I did the dirty air fast up system, the AF switch, just ordered my center stand love the setup

[@Dusty11BP]

Does the safety switch just stay in place or is that gone with this modification?

[@sikbaggers]

yes..the safety switch is seperate from these switches however he does offer a switch housing with the safety switch on it with the other switches.

[@marcosdiaz9055]

cool as hell

[@sikbaggers]

thanks marcos!

[@garycooper9968]

Great Channel, very informative. Got a question for you, so I am running Legends Air Ride with MRI electric center stand on my 2012 RG CVO, I am running D&D two into one with a Ghost Pipe on the left, so I have no problem mounting my center stand. I just bought my 2020 RG Special, running HD header Pipe with 4.5 Hitman Slip on's. I have the 131 crate motor. due to the cross over MRI says there is nothing I can do to allow center stand install. My question is do you have any options / suggestions to allow me to add a electric center stand on the 2020?

[@sikbaggers]

Honesty you would have to see how far back your cross under pipe is and then see how tall your legs are on the stand..see where that would meet. I know the MRI goes up past the frame in the up position and that is not necessary ..you can run that thing level with the ground and have clearance.

[@garycooper9968]

Makes Good Sense....While I have you...is there another company you might suggest, just in case I can get the MRI to fit. I got air on the 2020 and I am spoil with the electric stand on the 2012

[@sean0387]

Great Video! I'm definitely buying it

[@miamiaikido34]

whats that little torch that you use for the heat shrink

[@sikbaggers]

I use these...this is a good price for 2...I get them at the local hardware store for 4 bucks each amazon.com/Eagle-Single-Lighter-Windproof-Assorted/dp/B07778DFP3

[@davidchamberlin9273]

Hey Steve, I don't know if you're familiar with the B&W biker bar mounts? I was wondering if you knew with a center stand if you could use the biker bars system with that center stand? Looks from your video, the stand sits towards the back of frame, but I'm not sure of how far actuator sits towards the front of the bike anyway, just thought id ask if you happen to know. Thanks, and God bless.

[@sikbaggers]

Yes sir I use it and just pulled it from my trailer and installed it in my buddies toy hauler yesterday. The actuator does not come anywhere near the part that goes on the bike. The biker bar piece for the bike should be installed roughly right behind the rear floor board mount. The only thing you need to watch for is the wires going back to your tranny and youll be gold. One thing to note is never sit your bike down on the centerstadn when hauling ...even on the biker bar it will air out and sit on the stand just dont do that...leave some air in your system to make it tighter on the biker bar.

[@davidchamberlin9273]

@SIK Baggers awesome. Thank you for your response, Steve. You're the man!!! I ordered the af kustom switches for the air ride, and my dirty air el grande kit should be here by Wednesday. I enjoy all your videos. They are very helpful to a diy guy like me. You always have the answers!! Thanks again so much for letting me know about the biker bar, center stand fitment, now i feel better ordering that sob no pun intended..lol i love the biker bar and will be sure to leave air in the system. Till next time, thank you and see you on the tube. God bless you. Have a great day!

[@paulhewson4600]

Clean

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you Paul

[@trentsuever8281]

What if you are doing it with a Rear Air and Ride Height Repeater instead of front air? Also, I am about to order a SOB center stand. What length did you use? Is that stock cross under exhaust or aftermarket cross under?! Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome videos!!

[@sikbaggers]

Get up with Shane...He has multiple switch combos you can choose from. So you can change the switches out to what you need. Let him know what you have and then he can add that style to your switch.

[@juliomor3nabagger510]

Hey Steve, did the SOB center stand give you a hard time like the one you put on the Streetglide ? Does it sit all the way up with the cross over exhaust ?

[@sikbaggers]

The thing I learned on the SG was I have a crazy cross under pipe that goes at an angle under the bike causing the stand to hit on one side. If the cross under pipe goes straight under the bike and you use a 1 inch lowering kit you can use a shorter stand and it goes right up with no issues. The cobra header has the angled cross under pipe...nothing I can do about that but I got it to work. This build I put the V&H dresser duals on there and it has a straight cross under pipe. I lowered it one inch so I could use a shorter stand and it goes right up.

[@hunt9226]

Love your videos man!!!!

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you Jason!

[@fishaman1968shadow]

That would be so cool for me, having back and knee problems,this world be great on my Fatboy

Ye sir mark..this will work on any bike,..just transfer the leads over from your existing switches

[@benpadilla157]

Great video brother

[@dakotahanna1059]

Hey Steve, enjoy the videos! Are the floorboards the same ones on the street glide? Just the black version. What about your heal toe pegs and brake pedal. Thanks man

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you!...They are a set I got from Amazon actually, I just had them powder coated black. HTTMT I believe was the seller.

[@dakotahanna1059]

Thanks Steve!

[@christophergrayjr7999]

Hey Steve. Question can this work with the legend air suspension. Love your content

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you! Absolutely ...its just a 3 way mini switch so it will work with ay air ride

Is that a 3 switch bracket for horn mount does it come with kit or where can I get one

[@chadb5009]

How does the bottom stand itself install?

[@sikbaggers]

All electric center stands are installed the same with a plate that goes above your frame plate...the bolt go in from the bottom of the stand plate, through the frame plate and through the top plate and it all sandwiches together.

[@codywhite2390]

I really dig this product, does your leg ever touch the switches? My knee is by my horn and I could see me lowering my center stand on the highway lol

[@sikbaggers]

no..its tucked up under there...never came close to doing that...that would suck though lol..but nah man youre good...it wont happne its too tucked in.

[@Thunder3434]

I have the setup and never have bumped it. Like Steve said it’s tucked up nice
