One thing, the air chuck really does not work well for filling schrader type shocks. Too much unknown leaks when taking it off. You should get the correct filling tool which take pressure off the valve while still pressurizing the area. If using the air chuck you may want to try setting regulator a little higher than the pressure you want. Other than that great score. I do alot of snowmobile fox shocks so i know the investment cost but it also fun to be able to play with your own valving.

Racing went real well. Finished 9th in the world championship and better at some other races. Fifth overall in points. We were supposed to head to Winnepeg this weekend but my driver fractured his wrist last weekend running a cross country race for Yamaha.
