SAS-XL versions have an added 5/8" length to the cylinder housing - giving you about 2" more travel at the swing arm for a total of approx 6". Ideal for custom bikes that are extra low and need the extra lift to raise the bike to a ridable height. This unit has more travel than a stock Harley Davidson frame, therefore use of this unit is unnecessary.
SAS: Simplified Air Suspension from CCCS, Inc solves the problems with air rides & simplifies the install.
- Built in compressor
- No air lines to deal with
- Adjustable ride height and dampening
- No chance of compete air loss
- All mechanical functions protected in the durable CNC billit machined body
- Remote filtered air breather
- Easiest install on the market
The benefits of an SAS air shock:
Stay EPA Compliant on stock HD’s by not having to move canisters to make room for an ugly compressor.
Machined 6061 billet aluminum housing that is hard anodized for longevity, and durable to protect all mechanical functions inside.
Pneumatic seals, and top quality o-rings are forever protected, and eliminate leaks.
Remote filtered air breather allows you to hide the air intake under your seat keeping the unit from ever pulling in contaminated air.
only 4 switch wires and 4 bolts and the remote air breather to complete the install
Moving parts and bearings are pemanently lubricated.
Adjustable air pressure from 0 to over 280 psi.
As you increase air pressure the ride will begin to increase suspension. At aprox. 100-120 psi the suspension will be resting on its piston bumpers at *maximum ride height*, after that your height will not change but you can continue to increase air pressure for a stiffer ride to improve riding conditions during conering or with a passenger.
Our adjustable ride height, allows you to set the *maximum ride height* durring installation, weather you enjoy your ride at stock height, or wish to ride the bike at a lower position. By simply increasing the mounting length from eye to eye of the shock you can lower the bikes *maximum ride height*. Lowering the bike reduces the swing arm travel, but with the convenience of an air shock you won't have to worry about bottoming out under any weight the bike may be carrying. WIth the SAS you can counter the weight with air pressure. We recomend you consult an authorized dealer on how much you can lower your bike before safety becomes and issue. You can increase the ride height by shortening the eye to eye mounting length.
Adjustable dampening: The side of the cylinder piston that is not being presurized will need to draw in air and force it back out when the suspension is working. The SAS has a needle valve in the front of the unit that will control the volume and speed in which that air will flow. Tightening the valve will decrease the speed which the air flows, and vise versa. During assembly the valve is pre-set, (tightened and then backed out 1 1/2 times).
Specs, for mounting, and adjusting *maximum ride height* :
The SAS XL-99 uses a female male rod end with 2 jam nuts to adjust the mounting length. If a longer length is needed you can get a longer 1/2" 20 threaded rod.
The SAS XL has a minimum eye to eye length of 11 7/8" and can be lengthend with supplied hardware. It can also be shortened with a male rod end. Or lengthened even more with a longer threaded rod.
Due to some frames bumpers you may not get the full 6" of travel, that also depends on the position you set the *maximum ride height* . Due to custom aplications you may need to make adjustments specific to your application, but most custom frames are built to H/D measurments, as always - call us with questions, we are happy to help.
You do not want to tighten the rod ends down, there should be float. shoulder bolts should be used, any tension on the rod ends will cause the unit to bind up.
3 year warranty / 30 day money back guarantee / lifetime warranty on machined parts!
Imagine the time & effort you will save by utilizing SAS. TRUE EASE OF INSTALL!
