How do you know if your air System is working right. have a 2006 GL1800 and it don't seem to get any better ride when I mess with it

2006 GL1800 Lehman trike Kit
2 dogs and a wife
What kit are you using?
On our Roadsmith HTS the button now only raises and lowers the rear end. Very little, if any, difference in ride quality. The shocks are manual adjust. Preloaded spring type.

profile says it is a Lehman trike. Have no idea what they're using for suspension.

The other suspension option we now offer is an Adjustable Pre-Load system. We tie right into the GL1800's existing suspension adjustment system that's controllable right from the dash. By the push up or down of a button, this system hydraulically pre-loads the fixed springs for various loads, and allows the rider to manually adjust the ride as they see fit. We use high quality Progressive coil over shocks combined with the springs.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
