Operation:

The SAS-XL Simplified air suspension offers 3-6" of swing arm travel. At approx. 150 psi the bike will be fully raised and the suspension will be resting on its piston bumpers at *maximum ride height*, after that your height will not change but you can continue to increase air pressure for improved riding during cornering or with a passenger.  The *maximum ride height* is adjustable during the installation.

Whether you enjoy your ride at stock height, or wish to ride the bike at a lower position. By simply increasing the mounting length from eye to eye of the shock you can lower the bikes *maximum ride height*. Lowering the bike reduces the swing arm travel, but with the convenience of an air shock you won't have to worry about bottoming out under any weight the bike may be carrying. With the SAS you can counter the weight with air pressure.

We recommend you consult an authorized dealer on how much you can lower your bike before safety becomes and issue. You can increase the ride height by shortening the eye to eye mounting length.

Specs, for mounting, and adjusting *maximum ride height*:

The SAS XL-99 uses a female male rod end with 2 jam nuts to adjust the mounting length. If a longer length is needed you can get a longer 1/2" 20 threaded rod.

The SAS XL has a minimum eye to eye length of 11 7/8" and can be lengthened with supplied hardware.  It can also be shortened with a male rod end.  Or lengthened even more with a longer threaded rod.  

Due to some frames bumpers you may not get the full 6" of travel, that also depends on the position you set the *maximum ride height* .  As a consequence of of custom applications, you may need to make adjustments specific to your application, but most custom frames are built to H/D measurements, as always - call us with questions, we are happy to help!

You do not want to tighten the rod ends down, there should be float.
Shoulder bolts should be used, any tension on the rod ends will cause the unit to bind up.
