Would definatly check first b4 putting compressed air in there.I had an old IT175 about 10 years ago with these fittings on the top of the fork legs and also tried filling with compressed air at the servo and blew the seals :oops: .So definatly check it out first!!!!

Looks heaps better without the fairing. Your clutch cable is routed incorrectly- should be under tank and goes between carb #1 and #2. Stupid design.
Here's my pair of GTs. Sadly the one without the fairing is no more. Engine is in first GT and the rest disassembled. :cry:
BTW best not to use compressed air on the forks- it will blow the seals. Better to use a hand pump. ;)

Bonester has the good oil about these forks - use a bicycle pump !! I also have air-forks on my ebay 6fiddy, but they are linked and there is only 1 valve that sits just behind the top triple clamp. 5psi is *heaps*, and it just gives you a bit more 'spring' (not the technical term...) - adding a few pounds definitely stiffens the front end up. Just don't add more than 8psi or so, otherwise you will just end up blowing forks seals.

The bike looks 1000000% better now. Maybe a small bikini fairing during winter would look nice, and these are easy enough to ditch at a moments notice....
