| + | No ferrule needed. \\ | ||
| + | A great place to put the air fill, there is a hole in the frame just in front of the battery, around the front corner of the cover. \\ | ||
| + | You can use a stepped drill bit plus 1 size larger. \\ | ||
| + | As for oil, if you ever have to change it, its 10oz. \\ | ||
| + | And for filling with air, you can use a portable air tank. \\ | ||
| + | Fill the tank to the PSI you want and use it to fill the shocks. \\ | ||
| + | Then there's no need to buy a new pump. \\ | ||
