Thats so ****ty bro.
Your bags proly popped cus ur using 90 degree fittings... U need to keep that fitting from coming close to the rubber...
You need to use straight male fittings, and do 1/4" line to the rear. The NPT threaded size is should be 1/8. So get 2 1/8NPT-1/4" OD male connectors from suicide..

Yeah but ive got 1/2" lines. I suppose i could find a straight fitting to work..
John and i were talking about putting a set screw in the top of the bag to hold it in place and prevent it from collapsing weird. I think that would definitely prevent it from happening again

Re: (silver saloon)

1/2" change that son... its jsut harder to bend and run, and it flows too fast... It'll be less hassle... If anything do 3/8s. But play w/ some 1/4" and u'll like it more. I guarantee it

easystreet manifolds are 3/8s, not 1/2". so then u get 2 1/4"OD to 3/8sNPT male elbows

Re: (silver saloon)

why run a 40 series tire? the wheel looks too small and you do have bags ya know. with some modification you can be at 21" with 45 series tire. see PIFF.

Re: (silver saloon)

Well i started working on getting the rear bags out tonight. Upon further inspection, the passengers side is way worse. The whole fitting snapped off so i now cant get the small piece out of the bracket.. WTF! I now have to order the whole rear kit i guess since i wont be able to use the brackets. Also i couldnt get the bags out. Tried pounding with a rubber hammer on the bottom, nothing. They feel like theyre frozen in there. I just put it aside for the night cuz i have other stuff to do.
I really dont need to be dealing with this **** right now. This thing just keeps sucking money out of me that wasnt budgeted for it. I need to be spending money on stuff that actually matters, like a house and my future. A part of me really wants to sell it

 

[G-Magoo]

get some pictures up. maybe we can help you figure out what you could do. this needs to get done. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: (G-Magoo)

i'll take some pics once i get the rear bags out to show the damage.
all that needs to happen in the future is to get a different fitting and put a set screw in place on the top of the bag so that it wont be able to collapse weird

 

[G-Magoo]

alright well dont give up. thats the easy way out.

 

[silver saloon]

Re: (G-Magoo)

yeah i know. im not going to at all. its just fustrating, a part of me wants to sell it but i know that in the end i could never get myself to actually go through with it

 

[G-Magoo]

good. now get that **** going. what are you sitting at height wise air'd out?

 

[silver saloon]

Re: (G-Magoo)

the front is now at 23 1/2" and the rear sits at 22" even

Re: (silver saloon)

Re: (silver saloon)

haha. trust me, it'll work better.
As for taking the bags out, its the bottom piece right? try putting a screw driver in between the beam and the bottom of the bracket.
