I've had a small Airlift compressor with dash controls kit sitting on the shelf for ~7 years that I bought for my first B, but never installed. I've had air bags on the Tiger for about a year and a half, but just with the tire valve fills.
I mounted the dash controls and gauges in the Tiger Tuesday, the compressor Wednesday, and spent most of the day yesterday doing all the wiring and plumbing. I was really pleased to see that the system held 40 psi overnight with no leakdown.
The compressor is pretty wimpy, so I'll eventually replace it with a better one, and maybe add a manifold & hose for tire inflation.
I haven't been doing any mechanical DIY work for a while. I notice that in addition to sore muscles, my hands are sore this AM... glad the job is finished!
