Considering it's Chris and Howie we are talking about, I thought it had been pretty tame up till now   :augie

I just wonder why Chris isn't still riding a T110? Or maybe those new fangled Carburettor things are too complicated and too expensive to service. :^_^

What would air suspension do in a situation of variables?

As far as replacing a spring?

Works fine on my mountain bike. Can't imagine why it hasn't been adopted on motorbikes.
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

what do you suppose is in the remote reservoir on a steamer  ? :augie












it's an air bladder that you pump up with nitrogen to 140 psi , so basically you have an air shock  :nod

I meant as a replacement for the spring entirely.

I wasn't aware of its existence  :icon_eek:
Was it just on the later model? Or custom - Mine was a 1979.
Midrange power was good

Adds a whole lot of new variables.
Air is actually a very good spring. In a closed system it is a natural rising rate spring. Most people forget that your forks are all air assisted because of the air gap on top of the oil. Alter the oil level and you also alter the air assistance.

:nod that's why the dirt jockeys have valves on the top of their fork tubes, they just pump them up or let it out to suit the going.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
