there was a video posted somewhere in the forum recently of some cat on an air ride bike. it looked like he had an air cylinder on it.

i think that is a good design idea..instead if extending the cylinder for riding at normal high, extend the cylinder to lay frame..then the piston has no chance of being bent...i like the hinge idea from that video, but i want to work it into something a bit cleaner if i can...but i know on the layitlow forums, most people drop their bikes there by adding a cylinder in place of the spring on a bent springer fork then they can make their bike hop...but i dont think it can actually be ridden

yeah its rideable im on layitlow alot and they also some times use hydro bike cylienders in replace of the front support on the front of the springer fork

nope completely functionable while riding but u have to have abig pump and batterie that get in the way air ride is much simpler

yeah those hydraulic setups are pretty stupid and the bike looks like ... all jacked up

How about this? Gives you the profile for parking and is cheap. I think you could use a gas lift from those little wheeled shop stools or a discarded computer chair. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Cust ... 166591.htm
