Air Suspension for the RIIIT

I contacted Fournales, they suggested sending it in at the end of the riding season. That was great news for me.

What should have been a great 450 mile ride in the countryside with my honey, was plagued with the shocks losing pressure, bottoming out.

...I fix CNC milling & turning machinery all week. Much of it neglected, abused & crashed. So, for drama free fun, I open my checkbook WIDE for the good stuff and then POOF! I'm "fixin junk" on the weekend. What about the Nivomat? They make 'em for the R3T?

Woohoo....A biker's life!

The "show must go on" we say in field service.
