ORIGINAL: Ralph White
told me he called Robart and they replaced the air up/spring down cylinders with air up/air down cylinders. Same retract unit, changed cylinders only.

Interesting that is nothing short of a complete conversion back to a conventional system and a complete copout that their system is poorly designed if true.

I have no idea but Springairs have been around a long time, long before Robart copied the idea and I love them.

Ralph per chance did you ever compete in Grand Prix motorcycle road racing at Daytona in the sixties?
