Firestone Riderite bags with Daystar cradles

[israelstanage]

Installed bags, cradles, and on board air today. Pretty straight forward. I used the lower brackets that came with my bags because that seemed like way less of a headache than threading a custom hole and the brackets are less than 1/2 inch thick. Bags need 5 psi minimum. They rest in cradles at normal ride weight but will separate when rear axle goes full droop. Only custom mod was a slightly longer tapered head bolt going from lower bracket to the day stars. Had to grind a bit of the bolt off, but the bags seat in the tapered part of the cradles and don't ever actually rest on the bottom.

Went with a wireless one compressor with remote.

Nice!

How do you like that wireless one setup?

I wouldn't have done bags without it. I often haul heavy bed loads relatively short distances; the inconvenience of locating a compressor or hooking up my portable one would have kept me from using them. It has 3 presets and won't let you deflate any lower than 5 psi. Airing up/down literally at the press of a button. Compressor install is super easy as well.

Well that sounds EXACTLY like what I want for my bag setup. I dont necessarily want/need a wireless remote control for it, but a button in the truck to automatically inflate/deflate would be tits for sure.

Didn't mean to cause confusion; it is a remote system. But no wires. Tuck it away and only get it out when you need it. It is backlit but my flash is washing it out. Also has a thingy on the back like a garage door opener. Auto sleeps when not in use.

Link to the compressor/remote?

That's the one. Boys at 4 wheel parts recommended it. They said they have had quite a but of positive feedback. Also chose the bags I did based on their recs.

That is slick. About $300 it looks like. plus bags and cradles....

Is the compressor standing up ok in that spot? Just concerned about water.

I believe they are designed to be installed under the truck, exposed to all of the elements of daily driving.

[israelstanage]

Still working great. Been through plenty of rain and weekly washes with under carriage blasts. As noted by olyelr, they are designed with exposure in mind.

[ramv]

cool. Think I might mount mine under the front of the bed, but am considering the same spot you had

Nice.. have the same setup and did the same exact things...
