Both of the bags are blown on the Classic 345 front shocks or springs. I do not know how much diffence it would make to have them replaced. It rides pretty nice now. I am looking for opinions regarding my options.
You will find they are not too hard to replace, and not very expensive either. There are numerous sites with some do it yourself info on this. Search within this site also and you will find some.
Most wrap the uninflated bag, lube it with soapy water and stuff it in where it goes. If it is manually inflated no compressor is required, unless you want that option.
The ride is way better with the right air pressure.
Re: You will find they are not too hard to replace
Alan,
Have you replaced yours? It is easy in a technical sense but a bear to remove and re-install. Maybe there is some secret that I missed. I tried the Air lift instructions by squishing them and using soapy water. There still must be an easier way. My shoulders were sore for three days.
I found it helpful to pull a vacuum on the bags prior to installing them( I used my ac vacuum pump) it made them easier to put up into that little small hole.It also helps to twist them like wringing a rag out but it still makes your hands sore.
I finally installed the front airbags this weekend.
What a job but what an improvement in the ride.
I wish I had a vacuum pump to squish those fellows flat. Seems like there must be a trick to getting the bag small enough to get thru the 2" hole.
I did not realize how much bouncing around I was doing without them.
Any comments on the correct pressure to run?
