Question for Roadsmith owners with accuride?
For those that have the accuride suspension on your conversion how do you like it? Also could you tell a little about how it works? I ordered that option for my 1500 conversion. My kit will be in next week and trying to learn as much as I can about it. The Roadsmith website does not explain the accuride suspension all that well. Thanks in advance...
Re: Question for Roadsmith owners with accuride?
I have it on my 1800 and love it. It automatically adjusts ride height according to the load. No input is needed from you. I can hook up to my camper trailer, load the wife on, and just go. You will occasionally hear the air compressor running to adjust the height. Net effect is you are always at the correct ride height. I believe it uses a magnetic sensor that lines up to tell the ride sensor to add or delete air. I wouldn't be without it.

Ditto what Matches said. I love mine and it has worked flawlessly thus far. It's great having the suspension always correct without me having to figure out how to adjust as load changes. Great option IMO.

Sounds good! But I think in order to justify the cost you have to change loads frequently. If 90% of the time you ride solo and don't pull a trailer it probably wouldn't be worth the expense.

I think it will have added value if you decide to trade or sell the bike at some time.
Re: Question for Roadsmith owners with accuride?
It's my understanding that the Accu Ride feature will be standard on the Road Smith conversions in the near future.
Personally, I think it's a great feature. I've had this feature on two autos and loved it as it always kept the vehicle in the correct position regardless of weight change including filling up the 25 gallon fuel tank.

Here is a link where you can see the video of how it works. If you change your load weight you never have to worry about the correct level. Even the aux fuel tank will add a few pounds when full.

Re: Question for Roadsmith owners with accuride?
Has any one look a see if a person could add another switch to the accuride to have a sport setting when you wanted to run corners without so much lean........like have a switch to turn off the orginal switch to over ride to the second switch to add more air to the shocks for a stiffer ride for cornering an then could switch back for comfort ride...............just a though
