Legend Air Ride question

[Chopper Dawg]

I bought a L8 Legend air ride setup for my 2003 Chopper with a Rolling thunder frame. The shocks seem to fit ok. I am having a few other issues with the fitment.
1) The softail exhaust style 2 bolt mount will not fit. Anyone have a picture of how you mounted you compressor?
2) I also bought the kit from a guy that had it laying around for a year or 2. It has the plastic air fittings that I plan to swap for the metal ones. Any other suggestions?



Thanks
Brad

On edit: I spoke to the Legends tech and figured out a few of the issues. What a great company!! I am sending the suspension and mounts in for a few adjustments to make it all fit the bike! They really know what they are doing!

Just a note for anyone attempting a Legend Air install on a Rolling Thunder Frame.

1) U will need to ask for the "long" Softail air compressor mount. This bracket is longer and is needed for frame clearance

2) A stock 86-99 softail kit may cause clearance issues with the rear fender if you have a line failure or deflate it too much while riding. Legend will "adjust" the shock length for around $50 plus freight. Then if needed you can fine tune the bump stop to make it safe in case of a failure!

3) Make sure you order a twin cam style mount for the air pressure gauge and switch. ( will fit a S&S rocker box too)

4) You will also need a set of spacers for the Air pressure gauge mount so that the bracket will fit. They have them in stock.

I wanted to know how much of a difference in ride quality you got after you installled your legends air ride. I fixing to purchase a rear air suspension kit for my 07 Mastiff and the Legends L8 is one the ones I'm considering. I'm also looking at the SAS system.
