air fork balancing line

Here's another one that I took off of one of the LG's:



The air gauge clamps right onto the handlebar!

My 78E came with one on it:



The only markings I can find on it are the letters APMC
if that helps.

Hmmmmm......someone changed the tubes on that. Standards didn't have air forks until 80.

Welll that's interesting to know. Thanks, I just picked up this E for a future project.

Here's a shot of the cap that they put on top of the tube:

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.

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.

Ranger..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.

Yep...looks like the exact same one.
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.
