Yeah. That looks like some kind of home made or aftermarket setup. This is what the OEM caps look like......

So has anyone looked at the automotive air shocks? I KNOW they have a remote AND a balance tube option. Anything that fits the schrader valve should work.Ray Matteis

none of the ones I looked at use the Schrader valve. They have a air line going trough a compression fitting with an o-ring and washer.Originally posted by DiverRay View Post"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." - Albert Einstein

Yep...looks like the exact same one.Originally posted by STEPPENWOLF View PostRanger..here is one installed on my bike..worked well for about thirty years and then the airlines broke and was too lazy to get new ones.
I took it off an LG restoration project a couple of years ago.
It's a cool add on, but I'll probably never use it.Bob's Bikes:
