Good video, I did hear instead of playing the jack a shovel under the rear tire helps to adjust the pressure.

I did the same with the brick but put a 4' crowbar between the wheel and the brick easy to move the tire to line up

Love Roadwings...have several..I install without any pump on solo bikes and use a manual RAP on heavier bikes....electric is too much "extra" stuff (weight/complexity/point of failure) for me

I call foul for camera tricks. There's no way you used that Permatex anti-seize TWICE and you aren't covered in it. Lol Good video man.

I'm not sure, but that is only because I didn't measure it before installing it. I do know that it "felt" lower at the lowest point than stock, but that could be totally subjective. My 10 year old daughter instantly noticed a difference on a ride that afternoon though. If she could notice, that must mean it works well!

What does switching out this shock do to help the ride? All I know is, is that my 06 R* has such a saggy ass. I think the 03 I had years ago was stiffer and there for much better cornering.

So a couple of things...Yes it drastically helps the ride. I haven't bottomed out once on the bike and the actual smoothness of the ride is better. Even my kids felt it the first time they rode after installing it. Another thing is that it allows the bike to sit up a little higher which helped me with clearance getting into my driveway. I live in a neighborhood where the curbs are slanted which creates a good bump up. Before I'd have to creep up but now I can drive up it with not bottoming out issues. Being able to adjust it for the weight (1 up vs 2 up) has allowed the ride to be much smoother. It is absolutely the best upgrade I've done in terms of a difference in operation. ED Seat was the second thing. Also, I've noticed zero negatives to cornering or anything like that. Seriously I can't think of a single negative. All good!

Does it act like an air shock? and why does it need to be hooked to to electrical. my 06' roadstar would love this.

Not sure about the air shock as I’ve never had one, but since I’ve installed it, not only has the ride been exponentially smoother, I haven’t bottomed out on anything yet like I did before. As far as the electrical goes, mine is an electric rap that allows me to adjust the load hydraulically. This allows me to firm it up what I ride two up and lessen it a little when it is just me. You can purchase manual raps as well that have a knob that can adjust the shock as well.
