All my valves are under the bed. I know if I would put the fronts closer to the bags it would help but I want to keep everything in 1 place. I will try this first and then maybe move the valves if I have to. Thanks

You can run up to 5/8" line on 3/8" ported bags and the speed will increase with each increase in line diameter (3/8-1/2, and 1/2-5/. While the threads may be the same (3/8"), the flow diameter (the diameter in which the air flows), will increase with each step up in airline size (using the right fittings anyway). Check it out at http://www.airridetalk.com/specifications/ and click on the fittings link on the right hand side.

Rick, I checked that tracking number and seen it was coming next day air and I thought, " holy shit, that is cool as hell" Now I can get that job done and be 1 step closer to havin' it ready to roll. You Da Man! That's the kind of stuff that keeps me commin' back to Forbidden Motosports. Thanks, Take Care!
