    Linking front fork air adjustment

    Good morning, has anyone ever linked the front forks into a single airline so that when pressurised they are both the same? Thanks

    XJ's have that feature. The tops of their forks are drilled perpendicular to the tube and O-ringed collars with a rubber tube connecting them balance the air.

    Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

      Yes, there WAS a kit made to do that. You could probably go to a local hydraulic shop and have them build something for you. Parts should not be that much money as most of it is standard air fittings. The only metric may be the threads in the forks for the valves.
